"Recognition for the finds was mentioned, in fairness"

Well, I'm sorry, how much ruddy recognition does he want? His name was everywhere. He was given a write up in PAS's Annual Report and they actually mentioned he was now "a star of TV and the tabloid press...."

What really upsets me also is that he was held up as a model of responsible behaviour. But bear in mind he targetted what he knew was a prehistoric mound. As per typical. Legally, as it wasn't scheduled. (It will be by now).

Would YOU do that? 'Course not. But they all do, they target such suspected places and think its OK. And he finds something so he gets praised for it ! Yet the same action, now its scheduled, or the same action ANYWHERE in Northern Ireland or any other sane country wouldn't be praiseworthy it would be imprisonable.

FFS!
