Is our National Monuments (Amendment) Act 2004 constitutional, or is it not?
 
This, I believe, is the crucial piece of legal information we are all being DELIBERATELY kept in the dark about.
 
"It is certainly the case that constitutional law expert Dr Gerard Hogan (Fellow of Trinity College) believes that our National Monuments (Amendment) Act 2004 is unconstitutional. Please note his statement in the January 14th 2006 Daily Telegraph article:
 
"Gerry Hogan, senior counsel for Mr Salafia, claimed the legislation used to push through the project was unconstitutional. He said the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 2004 weakened the role of the Oireachtas (Ireland's national parliament) by giving the minister discretionary powers to determine the fate of the country's heritage. Mr Hogan claimed the state's duty to protect monuments had been 'seriously compromised' . "
