The return of personal effects is a matter for the family, their successors or legal representatives. As the Deputy is probably aware, both the National Museum of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland are already in possession of material and documents belonging and relating to Sir Roger Casement. It is a matter for each national cultural institution to determine what material should be acquired, on loan or otherwise, for its collection. The Deputy may wish to note that the list of Casement material in the National Library of Ireland may be accessed at: http://www.nli.ie/en/ManuscriptListResult.aspx
