NRA Conference chathttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/83985#comment2058822007-08-31T13:12:15+00:00C MurrayI was speaking with a director of one of the NRA regional offices at the confere...I was speaking with a director of one of the NRA regional offices at the conference<br />
in the Gresham hotel, yesterday and they do have a lot of problems with:<br />
<br />
1. Attracting suitably qualified archaeological dig personnel.<br />
2.Short term contracts.<br />
3. Inexperience.<br />
<br />
The NRA head hunts archaeology graduates, (for directorships), they are generally<br />
MA level with some fiels experience in archaelogy through their college careers.<br />
They obtain with the directorship a four year contract, which basically means that<br />
within their tenure as a director they shoulder responsibility for digs<br />
in their regions, addressing conferences, schools and organising museum exhibitions.<br />
There is no level of growth in a four year directorship career, cos its not pensionable nor<br />
is there much room for developing beyond the contractural scope, most move on<br />
into different careers or re-apply for a different region. One female director I spoke with<br />
told me that her last job in Galway was 'a nightmare', one dig required 25 qualified<br />
graduate level personnel- they got four, the rest were brought in from Eastern Europe and<br />
did not have either the language or the ability to utilise the equipment. thats 21 under the required<br />
quota for an extensive dig.<br />
Her area was submarine archaelogy , so the whole area she had inherited on her<br />
short term contract was entirely new, but exciting.<br />
<br />
The Privatisation of the Heritage industry began in 1992-95 when the Minister for State<br />
at the OPW started introducing short term , one year renewable contracts which did<br />
away with 1. Secure pensionable jobs for technicians/conservationists. the private <br />
companies 'brain-drained' the state sector. ( I know I was there)<br />
2.Private companies began working the Heritage reconstructions.<br />
This was added to by the abolition of Duchas, where the ethos of conservation and<br />
the statutory protection of monuments was subverted into profit-making organisations<br />
which were dedicated to the fast-track planning industry and not to a national<br />
protectorate of Natural and built heritage, interestingly The first Thing that the<br />
Government preceeding this one did was drop the Heritage Portfolio completely<br />
from the list of Portfolios and then shifted them around so Heritage left<br />
'Gaelteacht and the Islands' and came under the aegis of DOE.<br />
<br />
There is no national structure for protection of all our monuments on the island<br />
nor statutory agency to implement NMA (amended 2004). Archaeology graduates are<br />
being enticed into Profit-making agencies with fast-track unsustainable<br />
planning as their basis and root,ahead of the necessitious creation of<br />
agencies to protect heritage. The Government appears to be deliberately starving the<br />
public sector with little recruitment or career packages for those qualified in all<br />
aspects of conservation, in other words- our nationa archaeological programme<br />
is owned by the NRA.British Druids deliberate Tara at Liverpool on Sundayhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/83985#comment2058892007-08-31T14:15:15+00:00Legal EagleCouncil Members of the Council of British Druid Orders, CoBDO, representing 18 D...Council Members of the Council of British Druid Orders, CoBDO, representing 18 Druid Orders and 17000 members, will discuss what they can do to help the situation on Tara against the M3 motorway at their Quarterly Council Meeting on Sunday at Liverpool. <br />
<br />
However, so as not to be seen involved in Irish internal affairs, which is the primary concern of the Council, they are already decided not to take part in the defence of Tara without invitation from the appropriate Irish Save Tara groups and campaigns.<br />
<br />
Many of the Members of British Druid Orders are in fact Irish, but they are bound by this decision of the Council, already taken. <br />
<br />
Among the leaders of the Council are King Arthur Pendragon of the Loyal Arthurian Warband, L.A.W., and Archdruid Rollo Maughfling of Stonehenge, a descendant of Charles Stewart Parnell. <br />
<br />
The Council organises Midsummer Day each year at Stonehenge with an attendance of up to 50,000 Druids and Pilgrims. They directed the canpaign of the Newbury Bypass and the later battles for Stonehenge., when they took on and rocked thousands of British police in riot gear, as two British Army regiments were placed on standby on Salisbury Plain nearby. <br />
<br />
Ultimately they negotiated a satisfactory settlement with English Heritage, in charge of Stonehenge as the appropriate British Government body. Now they sit in meeting with English Heritage several times a year to organise together the Stonehenge festivals for the people. They also played a prominent part in the battle to reclaim the streets in Inner London. <br />
<br />
They are debating what they can do to help the Campaign for Tara at the request of The O.D.I., the Order of Druids in Ireland. But neither CoBDO nor ODI will get involved at Tara without specific invitation. <br />
<br />
The ODI is an External Associate of CoBDO for Ireland, just as CoBDO also has external associations in Scotland, Wales, Brittany, France, Holland and the U.S.A. , as the largest body of Druids in the world, the most organised and the best advised. They are veteran eco-warriors. They are devoted to the Cause of Tara. <br />
