That agreed strategy has been implemented under a series of excavation licences issued by Dúchas, and will resolve the archaeology of the Carrickmines site through the preservation of extensive excavated areas in situ, the recovery of many artefacts and the preservation by record of other features. Given the implementation of this agreed and wide ranging programme of archaeological work, it is not considered appropriate to place a preservation order on the site at this stage. I regard this approach as proper in relation to the archaeological heritage in this case and I commend it to Senators.
