Excavation of the national monument on the Wood Quay site requires the joint written consent of the Commissioners of Public Works and Dublin Corporation. Pending a decision on the future of the site they have given such a consent to allow the National Museum to continue the excavation of the monument up to 9 December 1978. Any excavation after that date would require a further joint consent.
A decision on the future of the site has not yet been made.
