Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

There is approximately €20 million in the national development plan for the development of the archives. It does not specifically lay down that it is for a building, but I have come to the conclusion that the archives are unsung heroes that need to be brought centre stage. Just like our museum or our library, they need the same kind of national status. I will look at how I can move that forward.
