European Union (Environmental Impact Assessment of Proposed Demolition of National Monuments) Regulations 2012 (S.I. No. 249 of 2012).

The Regulations amend the National Monuments Act 1930 to require the carrying out of an environmental impact assessment where a decision to grant consent under section 14 (2) (a) of that Act, or to issue directions under section 14A (4) (d) of that Act, would result in the demolition of a national monument. The amendment is made so as to give effect to Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, in so far as it relates to demolition of national monuments.
