Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: With respect to the cumulative impact of amendments Nos. 13, 18 and 22, there is the removal of artistic and traditional interest for the definition of "architectural heritage". There is then the insertion of cultural interest, including artistic, literary and traditional interest and the removal of artistic, historical and traditional, and their substitution with "historic". I am unclear...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: In the context of his response to amendment No. 8, will the Minister of State indicate whether he is absolutely satisfied that in the broadening of the definition in the Bill from Article 1 of the Valletta Convention, nothing has been lost in the desire to expand and be more inclusive and that there will not be any unintended consequences to which we may have to return at a later stage? In...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I move amendment No. 14: In page 20, to delete line 14 and substitute the following: “ “Bord” means Bord Ard-Mhusaem na hÉireann;”. These five amendments all relate to the use of Irish rather than English. Amendment No. 14 relates to the Irish for the board of the National Museum of Ireland, amendment No. 16 to the Commissioner of Public Works in Ireland...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: There are three separate issues. I do not understand the drafting and legal problems that would be created by using the official Irish name of a State agency in the English-language version of a Bill, given in the legislation underpinning those agencies both the Irish- and English-language titles are provided for. The point here is more important than that. There has been a long-standing...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: On the one hand, the Minister of State is saying that his more limited categorisation, the nine, and the inclusion of "includes, but is not limited to" is sufficient, and does not exclude anything. Our amendment also uses "includes, but is not limited to" but just expands beyond the nine, and the idea that it would somehow cause a difficulty just makes no sense. It is not a logical argument...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have two questions. Notwithstanding that the Minister of State's list and our list has "includes, but is not limited to", our list would be more open to legal challenge than the Minister of State's. That is the Minister of State's first argument. The second argument is that there is some justification for the nine categories that are in this section of the Bill but not a justification...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a final point on this. Let us take two of the categories we are adding, namely, social history and women's history. Social history often refers to the history of people, working people, the working classes or marginalised cultures. One of the reason we name social history and women's history, not just in this Bill but in master's programmes, in journals, in people's professional...
