Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I am familiar, having spent time in the Office of Public Works, with the institutions referred to by Deputy Mitchell. I have seen at first hand the fantastic work done by the Office of Public Works not alone in Dublin, but around the country.

I agree with the Deputy in respect of the proper care and storage of national archives be they pertaining to the National Archives, National Museum or National Library. I will try to drive forward a solution. I am not sure this afternoon whether there exists the possibility of a collective solution, but Deputy Mitchell can rest assured I will deal with the matter.
