I thank the Minister for her response. Regarding the archive in Cork, is the Minister satisfied there is an adequate number of staff available to archive the records and to provide access and searching assistance to those who want to trace their families? I have heard reports that only a small number of staff are dealing with the archive and that they are unable to research the files in a timely fashion. I fully appreciate that those files need to be archived. Can the Minister give an assurance that the necessary resources are in place to ensure the files are properly archived and made available?
