Want to know what the coolest job title in Ireland is? The answer is the Keeper of Irish Antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland.

The person in that very cool titled job is Maeve Sikora and she has a massive responsibility which is making sure that all of the incredible artifacts in the country are looked after and don't end up as doorstops!

This morning, Maeve spoke to Dermot and Dave about the strict rules surrounding finding things of historical importance and why you need to get in touch with the National Museum within 96 hours of such a find.

Plus, we found out about some of the most amazing discoveries they've made.
