Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2024
533. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will ensure that the Irish Land Commission Archive records (details supplied) are made publicly available vis-à-vis the National Archive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16563/24]
View answerMy Department is currently working with Officials from the National Archives in relation to identifying and cataloguing the former Irish Land Commission records with a view to ultimately transferring the collection to the National Archive from where the records can eventually be made available to the public. The public can expect some records from the former Land Commission (e.g. Fair Rent Orders) to start transferring to the National Archive within about 2 years and thereafter being made available to the public. Additional records will transfer to the National Archives at scheduled intervals thereafter.
