My question is on the same theme. I have written to the Minister about the Land Commission records, which were an all-Ireland set of records. They are publicly available in Northern Ireland but completely private in the Republic. They date back to approximately 1892. The critical issue is that a new arrangement came into place in 1922 across all Departments. This is an example of something that could give some sort of lasting legacy in the same way as the military pension records resulted in a lasting archive in regard to the 1916 commemorations.
