I move amendment No. 30:

In page 24, between lines 33 and 34, to insert the following:"(d) the principle of public ownership and right of access to a genealogical heritage and the need to facilitate, as far as is practicable, the undertaking of family history, biographical, historical and related research,
(e) in this section, "genealogical heritage" means the collective wealth of records which enumerate the descent of all persons, whether living or deceased, from their ancestors by recording specific life events.".

This amendment was initially proposed by Deputy Catherine Murphy. I think this issue has been discussed, although the amendment may not have been.
