However, Sinn F\u00e9in TD for Cork South Central Donnchadh \u00d3 Laoghaire said artefacts such as this ought to be in the possession of Ireland and an Irish body.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is obviously the case that we would want people all over the world to learn of them, and that we would want them to travel and be examined, but the ultimate custodian should be Irish\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
That custodian could then lend the artefacts to other international bodies, he added.<\/p>\n
He said an advisory body on restitution and repatriation was established by the Government, and he hopes that its work will \u201cassist the Irish State in seeking parts of our history, invaluable historical documents, and artefacts, to be returned to Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMany such items were stolen from Ireland in the first place, in a form of colonial plunder, and they should return to Irish ownership,\u201d Mr \u00d3 Laoghaire said.<\/p>\n
The advisory committee, which was established in 2023 to advise the Government on the restitution and repatriation of Irish objects, published a report of recommendations in June.<\/p>\n
Culture minister Patrick O\u2019Donovan said at the time that he was \u201cgiving these recommendations my full consideration to ensure that the restitution and repatriation processes for culturally sensitive objects in Ireland are grounded in trust and respect, and that cultural and collecting institutions are appropriately supported.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said he would consult with stakeholders on the recommendations and then bring a plan to government, but there has been no update on this process since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An important Irish historical document being exhibited in Cork for just two months before returning to Oxford, where…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":676534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[40],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,6,5489,19,17,11,12,15,16,5,47,7,8],"class_list":["post-676533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-eire","tag-featured-news","tag-featurednews","tag-headlines","tag-history","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-latest-news","tag-latestnews","tag-main-news","tag-mainnews","tag-news","tag-sinn-fein","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117228818051480285","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
