Statute Law Revision Bill 2007: Committee Stage
8:00 pm
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
I would have thought this is not a project to concern us, particularly if Acts of the English Parliament are in question. There is a dictionary of parliament which goes back to about 1385 which has short biographies of every member of parliament since that date. It is possible they intend to digitise their legislation but much of this is peripheral from our point of view. We already have the calendars to consult and it must be considered whether such a venture would be a good use of resources and something of pressing importance for historians. I have my doubts.
