Premises for the Council’s archives

Summary

Barnes asked the Taoiseach to provide a women’s centre for the Council’s archives and library materials; he gave only a qualified undertaking to examine the request.

May I ask the Taoiseach, in the event of his not reactivating the Ministry for Women's Affairs, which will be a great disappointment to women throughout Ireland, to make available a women's centre to the Council for the Status of Women to house even the archives and library material which they are expected to distribute because there is no longer a Ministry for Women's Affairs? Because of the economic climate and the cutbacks in other organisations under the aegis of the Council for the Status of Women it is now more important than ever that resources be made available to the council to enable some of those organisations to continue in existence?

I can only give a very qualified undertaking to examine that matter.
