I am aware of the good relationship between Kew and the National Archives here.

May I go back to a point Deputy Colm Burke made? He made a point about Glanmire and a particular location. It was more a general point. One thing I would like to stress is that when new communities are built it is difficult enough to get housing built, but building a community is another task. Very often those communities are disadvantaged by virtue of the fact that they do not have that community development piece that has to happen in the future, but their needs are more immediate than that. I think of west Dublin communities like Ongar and Tyrrelstown, which did not really exist to any degree in, say, the year 2000 but are quite sizeable communities now. They take several years to build. Static communities appear to be at a sizeable advantage in applying for grants over new communities that still have to have that engagement with one another as regards community development and so on. Is that factored into the ability to apply for and to partner for additional facilities? It is very difficult to see how it can be.
