Re: Re: Rock of Cashel stone conservation restoration

great article prax thanks. The most relevant part perhaps;

“Contractors have to open their doors to trainees and customers need to demand it. At the moment, the cheapest quote wins and the cheapest contractors are the ones who don’t spend money on training.

“Gradually, this lowers the skill level across the board until the historic fabric starts to suffer.”

The problem must be much worse here than in England, for obvious reasons. I wonder are the same solutions being pursued?
