Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I want to speak briefly on amendments Nos. 10, 11 and 12. It makes complete sense. The National Museum of Ireland has an amazing track record and would have been a consultee in all of this in the past or up to now. I note that the Minister of State has done a great deal of reform in the Heritage Council. This council was on its knees a number of years ago but the Minister of State got it...

(2) It will be a requirement of Planning Authorities to reference protected monuments on their City/County...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: We have discussed this proposal previously. It seeks to introduce a new section relating to protected monuments. It will require planning authorities to refer to the protected monuments in their city or county development plans in both their written statement and their development plan. This is not new; it reflects the current situation. At our previous debate on the Bill, I brought in...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I am not happy with that. The Minister of State is not telling us, for example, that he is committed to driving that through. He could have said I made an excellent point and that he, as Minister of State with responsibility for heritage, will drive that through in the planning and development Bill, but he did not say that. We have to be pragmatic. Today, we are debating the History and...

Victor Boyhan: The Minister of State highlighted some important issues. Of course, he is in high office.

Victor Boyhan: I thank the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence, Deputy Micheál Martin. I do not intend to go into detail on the report on the Defence Forces published yesterday but it is harrowing. I thank the brave Women of Honour, who had to go public and tell their stories, which is never an easy thing to do, especially in a military culture such as that of the Defence Forces. I acknowledge...
