My Department is working with the National Library of Ireland (NLI) on exploring the feasibility of expanding the NLI’s capacity to establish a digital legal deposit scheme to serve as a web archive for the .ie domain and work is ongoing.

There are differing viewpoints on the introduction of digital legal deposit and it is important that consultations incorporate all viewpoints.  It is hoped to bring forward a report in the coming months.
