Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Not all the files are in compliance with the records management of the Department and the Acts.

I will find out if there is an appeals system or if it is irrevocable. I do not assume it is irrevocable. If some of the files that are 70 years old that were originally refused under section 8(5)(a), which is about matters contrary to the public interest, there may be no danger to the public interest releasing those very old files now.
