Brian O'Shea
Ceist:322 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason he will not allow the General Register Office to release to the National Library microfilm copies of the 19th century civil registers of births, deaths and marriages with accompanying indexes in view of the fact that this material is already widely available outside of Ireland through the Mormon Church based in Utah, USA; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
