'The requirement for a License in both jurisdictions in Ireland demand a full strat report is submitted to the relevant department, a summary is placed in that years excavations bulletin, and that the site is published. The first two mostly happen fine, the last one not so much, which is what the article is about.'
Several years ago (2000 ish) George Lambrick and Ian Doyle reviewed this issue with regard to urban excavations/evaluations in the Republic of Ireland, on behalf of the Heritage Council. From memory, he found that Duchas (as was) felt unable to enforce that part of the licence which required submission of final publication report, therefore it was just ignored and further licences were issued to licence holders even though conditions attached to previous licences had not been met.
