The aim is to have a really proactive programme of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: This applies to sites where there is special protection and that are on privately owned land. Really, the notice is just to the landowner. From that perspective, what is required here is the expert view and the advice of the Heritage Council to the Minister of the day. That is why it is distinctly different from an open public consultation process in respect of a bigger policy or plan. It...

Malcolm Noonan: I will respond to both Deputies. I hope I can provide assurance further to the note I read out about the National Monuments Advisory Council. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan spoke about Carrickmines. It was an exceptional find and legitimate concerns were raised about it. It is certainly not typical of what happens generally; it was exceptional. There is no doubt that it is an important site....
