The Department of the Taoiseach fully complies with its responsibilities under the National Archives Act 1986. This involves transfer of records for public inspection when they become thirty years old. Any records held by this Department relating to this subject matter up to and including 1992 will therefore, have already transferred to the National Archives in line with the Act. Any records relating to 1993 will be included in the process for transfer by the end of 2023.
