Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
2525. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if access can be obtained to files held by his Department in the case of a solicitor (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19798/21]
View answerAccess to the records of the former Irish Land Commission is dependent on being able to demonstrate ownership of the lands to which the records relate or some other relevant connection to the lands in question.
The information provided by the Deputy is not sufficiently detailed to enable me confirm whether access can be granted or not. However, the Deputy, his constituent, or his constituent’s solicitors should make contact with the Records Branch of the Department who will give the matter their urgent attention. The contact details for Records Branch are set out below:
