Uh huh. Absolutely. Farmland is making, depending on quality, about €10,000 an acre at the moment. I'm correctable on this, but I skimmed the 2004 Amendment Act (the motorway act) as well yesterday and found only updated fines that referred to 'national monuments', rather than 'monuments'. Prison time might have some effect - if they get it (doubtful).

I read a depressing quote, along the same lines as your comment recently. I'll try and dig it out.

In UK (at least) you can be made to rebuild a listed house you've knocked down can't you? So.....

Don't start me. In UK metal detectorists get sent to jail for detecting on 35,000 scheduled archaeological sites but praised and professionally lickspittled for seeking out and stripping to nothing one million non-scheduled ones. Heritage protection is an utter sham in both Ireland and this country.
