I should qualify my statement with a caveat.
My dealings with academics has been confined to geologists and archaeologists. I have found the geologists far more receptive, especially Dr John Graham, Trinity College Dublin, to whom I owe a great deal of thanks.
The archaeologists however, have behaved appalingly.
Ireland is a signatory to the Valletta convention of 1992, the European Convention of the protection of Archaeological Heritage. As a profession, they have failed in their duty to protect that heritage, and are culpable of negligence.
Nothing more, nothing less.
