The documentary materials that are required to be archived by the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments (more commonly known as the Mahon Tribunal) in compliance with sections 46 and 47 of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011 and the National Archives Act 1986 are in the process of being placed in storage with the storage company procured and contracted by OPW for Government archiving services. All documents not in archive are presently under the control of the Tribunal at its offices in Dublin Castle. Documents provided to the Tribunal which are not required to be stored under the above legislation are being returned by the Tribunal to the parties who provided same; or if not required to be returned, are being destroyed with the consent of said party. This process is on-going as there is a significant number of parties and documents involved.
