Code of Practice aims to protect peatland archaeology
Written by James Eogan
Mr. Jimmy Deenihan, T.D., Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht launched a code of archaeological practice between his Department, the National Museum of Ireland and Bord na Móna last Wednesday. The Minister stated his belief that the code "will further copperfasten the protection of archaeology in Bord na Móna bogs.".
The aim of the code is to create a clear framework for Bord na Móna to progress its work programme, while at the same time addressing, in a structured manner, the need to protect archaeological objects, sites and monuments.
The Code of Practice is available in booklet form and may also be downloaded here.
