Vol. 534 No. 4

Written Answers - National Archives.

Liz McManus

Question:

78 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if, following the conclusion of her discussions with the Depart ment of Finance, she will indicate when it is expected that additional resources will be provided for the National Archives to enable it to recruit additional staff and provide a better service; when it is expected that these will be concluded having regard to the particular workload the National Archives carries from the end of year release of records; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10705/01]

While broad agreement has been reached between my officials and those in the Department of Finance on the additional staffing required for the National Archives, we are awaiting the written sanction. When the Minister for Finance has agreed the numbers being sought and sanction is received, arrangements for recruitment will commence immediately.
