Dr. O'Rourke made the point that there is no legal basis for the destruction. There has been an argument that if this Bill is not passed next week, all the files will be destroyed. It is very important that we push back against that narrative,as it will be used to get people to vote in a particular way.

I asked Ms McDonnell Byrne about memorialisation and how we can ensure that history is respected. I have visited museums around the world, and there are museums such as the Holocaust museum, that memorialise such important points in history where history is respected and understood.
