Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Retention of Records Bill 2019: Discussion

Dr. Sarah-Anne Buckley:

As a non-legal expert, I am arguing against the Bill because I do not see what is wrong with the National Archives Act. In respect of arguments that amendments need to be made to that, it has been quite sufficient since 1986. I do not understand how this came about. I have not seen a proper explanation for it so I am arguing that there should be more resources for the National Archives and that we can tackle this and go forward positively but I do so as a non-legal expert.
