Question:

261 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if modern technology, including the latest geophysics, is used to survey heritage sensitive areas where motorways or other major works are proposed to eliminate the waste of public moneys arising from a subsequent clash of interests. [16826/04]

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

The developer dictates how heritage areas at major construction sites are monitored and surveyed. The appropriate road authority or the National Roads Authority dictates the methodology to be used for motorways. Policy information may be sought from the Minister for Transport.
