Catherine Murphy emphasised the historical and cultural importance of these records and urged the Minister to look at making them available to help shape the discussions underway about our evolution as a Republic over the last century.<\/p>\n
Catherine Murphy has previously indicated to the Minister that these records have a particular significance given the decade of centenaries and the commemorations currently underway. She said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis vast trove of up to eight million individual records form an integral part of helping us understand our past and for those with a particular interest in genealogy and social history they are can be a key research source to unlock many outstanding questions regarding our past and how that has shaped our present and indeed, future.<\/p>\n
“The records exist within the Department of Agriculture and I have asked the Minister to initiate a dialogue with the Department with a view to making these records publicly available in this State, the counterparts of which are readily available publicly in Northern Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n
