Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-27
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I thank the Minister of State for his response. On the battlefields project, I accept he cannot definitively tell me whether the revision of the record of monuments and places will cover all those battlefields.
Will that substantial piece of work, the lines on maps that we talked about at length on Committee Stage, just sit there now that it is done or will it inform these revisions? Will it be acted on? I appreciate the Minister of State cannot give me a definitive commitment that every battlefield in that will be mapped out and recognised in the record of monuments and places. However, will it be seriously used to inform that which would then give some practical meaning to amendment No. 14 which the Minister of State has introduced here after engaging with us on Committee Stage on this?
