I call to the attention of the Seanad the handwritten note of surrender of Padraig Pearse from Easter 1916 which is on display in the James Adam showrooms on St. Stephen's Green. The sale of the note will take place in May and the guide price is approximately €40,000 to €60,000. The note is a document of priceless historical value written at the time of the birth of the State. In the strongest possible terms, I implore the Government to ensure the note is purchased by the State as it belongs to the people of the State.
