system in Ireland. The proposals also examined the financial implications of the establishment of a records centre, and estimated that a fully staffed records centre would cost approximately €600,000 annually.
2. ADVICE TO THE MINISTER The Council provided advice to the Minister on the following six areas Thatch Policy On the 24th June, the Council launched its thatch policy document at Johnstown Castle, Wexford. Following this publication, the Heritage Council, Dúchas and the DOENI have been actively engaged in the implementation of a number of the recommendations of the report relating to training, accreditation, insurance, materials and an inventory of thatched buildings in Ireland. Unpublished Excavations in the Republic of Ireland 1930 – 1997 The Council submitted a copy of its report on Unpublished Excavations in the Republic of Ireland 1930 – 1997 to the Minister. The Report demonstrates that in 1997 the backlog of unpublished excavations was 1,358. Council now estimates from data published by the Department of Environment and Local Government that the backlog has reached 4,753 excavations and may exceed 10,000 by 2006. Much of this increase is being driven by the requirements of the National Development Plan. These unpublished excavations’ archives represent a substantial national investment, estimated by the National Roads Authority to amount to 5% of the total cost of the national roads programme alone. They have millions of associated artifacts and human and animal remains as well as environmental samples, which require conservation, study and curation. For the state to realise its investment in this area it is important that this information be made available in an accessible manner to the public. This report makes a number of recommendations for developing structures and procedures for bringing this situation under control.
