Meath and Louth archaeological survey

Summary

The survey of Meath and Louth is complete apart from architectural monuments, and its results are being prepared for publication. The Minister could not give a publication date or assure that the counties would receive a separate report, but said publication would not await the nationwide survey.

asked the Minister for Finance if the archaeological survey being carried out by the Office of Public Works has been completed in respect of County Meath and County Louth; if so, if he will arrange to publish the results of the study and, if not, why.

Comment on this

Apart from architectural monuments the archaeological survey of these counties has been completed. The results of the survey are being prepared for publication.

Comment on this

Will the Minister confirm that the results for County Meath and County Louth will be published separately, and that publication will not have to await the completion of the survey of the entire country? Secondly, will he state when he expects publication to take place?

Comment on this

I am afraid I cannot indicate when publication will take place. I understand it is intended to publish the results without waiting for the results from the whole country. I cannot assure the Deputy that there will be a separate report in regard to Meath and Louth. That may be so, but I cannot give the Deputy that assurance.
