Sorry, that was a gross over generalisation. I can only speak on matters in this jurisdiction, when during the years of the "Celtic Tiger" obscene amounts of E.U and taxpayers money was poured into the National Roads project. Apart from Woodstown, it seems very little came from it.
But we digress. Ireland is a signatory to the Valettea convention, and bound to protect the countrys heritage. The archaeological establishment in this country is required to protect that heritage, and are failing to do so. That is a dereliction of duty, and one which should not go unchallenged.
