I thank the Minister of State for his full response in providing the relevant figures and more information on the background to the Irish heritage certificates. As I noted, the scheme is a worthwhile and valuable initiative. The Minister of State referred to market research. Is it planned to market and publicise the certificates more widely to encourage increased take-up from other countries? I presume such efforts are being undertaken in conjunction with the Gathering event to be held next year.
