.......As for the IFA deciding lists, isn't it better that an officer acting on behalf of elected officials (elected by local pople) produces a list rather than an unaccounatble organisation? After all if somebody had a problem with a local list they can write to the elected member to comlain, but if they were not a member of the IFA they would have no recourse.....
I agree. At least there is some recourse for appeal. }
Also its them that monitor and agree/advise on the methodologies, significance of results and have the power to police archaeological mitigation works (sort of), so have the on-the-site information on who's doing a good or bad job.
What has the IFA done to prevent the destruction of archaeology by disreputable archaeological companies? (not coming from a strong position to argue though....so actually asking if they have?)
Although Dinosaur is correct it would help if the lists were accessable over the internet.
