My concern is not just about the fact that this is a break with precedent on the actuality of the licence itself, but also around how the licence was generated. The National Monuments (Amendment) Act 2004 states "The Minister shall consult in writing with the Director of the National Museum of Ireland before granting a consent under paragraph (a) of this subsection." Is this committee to understand that the displeasure articulated in the letter to Mr. Allen by the director of the National Museum of Ireland will not be repeated and that the original partnership arrangement that existed would be adhered to in the future?
