Résumé en anglais
This paper traces the evolution of measures for the protection of monuments in Ireland from the 19th century through to the present system, which is in place since 1930. It looks at the role played by a range of voluntary organizations and individuals in campaigning for recording of antiquities and for the introduction of statutory protection for sites of importance identified. The review contextualizes the disparate and somewhat anachronistic measures now in place.
