I will ask a few questions.

Obviously, it is to be welcomed that the public will have access to these documents on a timelier basis. An Teachta Ó Cuív put an interesting question. Will the criteria for the types of documents to be kept and the types of documents to be put into the National Archives be detailed in the Bill? Will that be the decision of a Minister or of a Department or where will the decision be made?
