Section 3 (3) of the 1987 Act provides that within a restricted area a person shall not dive on, damage, or generally interfere with, any wreck or archaeological object except in accordance with a licence issued by the MoEHLG under Section 3 (5) of the Act. Without prejudice to any other circumstances in which it may be appropriate, the making of an underwater heritage order in respect of an underwater archaeological object or wreck of archaeological interest will be considered by the MoEHLG if there are grounds for believing that the protection of such a wreck or object would be better secured by the control of activities within a specifically designated area around the wreck or object. Architectural and Built Heritage Protection of architectural or built heritage is provided for through a range of legal instruments that include the Heritage Act, 1995, the Architectural Heritage (National Inventory) and National Monuments (Misc. Provisions) Act, 1999, and the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act 2000. Section 2.1 of the Heritage Act, 1995, describes architectural heritage as ‘all structures, buildings, traditional and designed, and groups of buildings including streetscapes and urban vistas, which are of historical, archaeological, artistic, engineering, scientific, social or technological interest, together with their setting, attendant grounds, fixtures, fittings and contents, and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, includes railways and related buildings and structures and any place comprising the remains or traces of any such railway, building or structure’. The Heritage Council was established the Heritage Act, 1995. The Council seeks to promote the interest in, knowledge and protection of Irish heritage, including the architectural resource. The Heritage Act provides for the protection of all heritage buildings owned by a local authority from damage and destruction. The work of the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) was first founded on Article 2 of the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of Europe (Granada Convention). Article 2 states that for the purpose of precise identification of monuments, groups of structures and sites to be protected, each member state will undertake to maintain inventories of that architectural heritage. Ireland's undertaking under article 2 of the Granada Convention is now enshrined in the Architectural Heritage (National Inventory) and Historic Monuments (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1999. The Act requires the Minister to establish a survey to identify, record and evaluate the architectural heritage of the country. The function of the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) is to record all built heritage structures within the Republic of Ireland. Inclusion in an NIAH inventory does not provide statutory protection; the document is used to advise local authorities on compilation of a Record of Protected Structures as required by the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 2000. A draft NIAH county inventory has been compiled for County Roscommon, while a draft NIAH urban study has been completed for Carrick-on-Shannon. Protection under the Development Plan Under the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 2000, all Planning Authorities are obliged to keep a ‘Record of Protected Structures’ of special architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, 52
cultural, scientific, social or technological interest. As of the 1 st January 2000, all structures listed for protection in current Development Plans, have become ‘protected structures’. Since the introduction of this legislation, planning permission is required for any works to a protected structure that would affect its character. If a protected structure is endangered, planning authorities may issue a notice to the owner or occupier requiring works to be carried out. The Act contains comprehensive powers for local authorities to require the owners and occupiers to do works on a protected structure if it is endangered, or a protected structure or a townscape of special character that ought to be restored. In total there are 111 structures listed for protection within the study area as noted in the current Leitrim and Roscommon County Development Plans (see Appendix 4). Seven of these are archaeological sites as recorded on the RMP (LE031-005---; RO006-046---; RO006-036---; RO006-068---; RO006-038---; LE031-005--- & LE031-005---, see Appendix 1). 53
