National monument (Ireland)
After the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, this framework was reformed by the National Monuments Act 1930.By 2010 there were nearly 1,000 monuments in state ownership or guardianship, although this represents only a small proportion of Ireland's recorded archaeological heritage.[9] According to press reports, these provisions were included to facilitate road schemes, and in particular the destruction of Carrickmines Castle, a national monument, to build an intersection along the south-eastern section of the M50 motorway.[citation needed] Two national monuments are also recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites: Brú na Bóinne in County Meath and Skellig Michael in County Kerry.The following is an index to lists of National Monuments of Ireland, divided by province.
