Proposed Amendments:


PA CH 10.1: Section 10.5.1.4 Underwater Archaeology, page 357

Include the following in Section 10.5.1.4:

Fingal's offshore and coastal waters, tidal estuaries and rivers have a diverse and interesting range of features and finds piers, quay walls, fords, stepping stones. Section 3 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1987 makes specific provisions for the protection of shipwrecks and underwater archaeological objects, whereby, all wrecks over 100 years old are legally protected. Wreck Inventory of Ireland Database (WIID) which holds records of over 18,000 known and potential wreck sites is used as a tool to help manage and protect historic wrecks. Development, including infrastructure responding to the mitigation of flooding resulting from climate change, within the marine, offshore and coastal waters, tidal estuaries and river areas which have the potential to impact on both known and potential terrestrial and underwater archaeology will require appropriate intertidal and underwater archaeological assessment and the Council will seek and have regard to the advice and recommendations of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage relating to all developments within these environments. The Council will seek to protect, preserve and promote the marine and coastal zone archaeological, including underwater, heritage of Fingal. Where flood relief schemes are being undertaken the Council will have regard to the Archaeological Guidelines for Flood Relief Schemes (DHLGH 2022).
