272 Deputy Mary Upton asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he has received a report from the National Library of Ireland reviewing the implications of the extension of the legal deposit provision; if he will publish this report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13149/08]

I understand that the implications associated with the extension of legal deposit provisions to the National Library, as set out in the National Cultural Institutions Act, 1997, are, at present, under active consideration by that Body. I look forward to receiving a report, from the Board of the National Library of Ireland, in regard to this matter in due course.
