National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Report and Final Stages.
4:00 pm
Cyprian Brady (Fianna Fail)
I disagree totally because the section is crucial to the legislation. Section 5(2)(d) refers to the Minister considering proposals in the public interest and that is what the legislation is about. The section ensures many monuments and sites of historical and other interest will be maintained well into the future. Fines and other penalties are also outlined and they have been increased considerably. The section is crucial to the legislation and it provides for a resolution of the Carrickmines Castle problem once and for all.
