Am getting pretty fed up of being accused of making this whole thing up especially when the IFA themselves have released a statement saying (from KEvins post)
so if this is all made up then why did they even bother to do this.
This is an important issue that needed to be brought out into the open and archaeologists needed to be made aware of what was happening behind the schemes
If organisations are backtracking when questioned it does not mean that it was not their intention in the first place - it just means they do not have courage in their convictions
Quote:Vulpes is right... the IfA announced a while back that it had received a legal opinion to the effect that curators could be justified in excluding non-RAOs. I am sure I mentioned this on BAJR at the time, but can't for the life of me find the thread right now....
