Thanks for the clarification. I'm deliberately not blogging about Tara because from what I have read it's often the archaeologists in the middle who are getting the blame for government policy.

Have just read the link and, have to say that, although the Museum is significantly under-resourced, I think she's being a little harsh (no - a lot harsh) - there's a lot of great and well presented material at the NMI including the gold collection, the Viking collection, and much more.
