Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Yes. There may be other files in the archives or in the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. I will raise the issue, particularly as we have just finished work on the pre Act of Union laws and will rescind about 2,000 such laws under the new Bill. It has been an interesting project, relating to laws before 1800. Deputy Michael Higgins is asking for a more current appraisal. I will examine it and see what is possible. I take the point the Deputy has made with regard to the records possibly being taken together from whatever source.
