Business of Joint Committee
Update from Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Mr. Michael MacDonagh:
On the Deputy's question regarding the new national monuments and archaeological heritage Bill, we are confident it will provide effective protection for monuments of any age. As we work the Bill through pre-legislative scrutiny and the Oireachtas, we are confident it will have the provisions to allow for the inclusion of monuments from any period that fit the criteria necessary.
