I accept that. We had the copyright Bill back in the Seanad. I accepted an amendment from the Department deleting an amendment I had previously had accepted in the Chamber relating to a digital deposit scheme. The witnesses spoke about safeguarding collections being a priority. There does not seem to be much urgency from the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan. I am constantly told it is the remit of either the officials or the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan. Can I have an update on the digital deposit scheme? We are losing our digital memory very fast and most web pages disappear within 100 days. We are losing our national memory. I am anxious that a lead is not being taken on the issue.
