519 Deputy Joe Behan asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the storage location of the minutes books and other records of the former National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland from its formation in 1922 to its congress of 1967; if the said records can be studied by members of the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12914/10]

The Minister has no statutory function in relation to the records of private voluntary bodies. However, the Deputy might contact the Athletics Association of Ireland which is the governing body for athletics formed following the dissolution of the NACA and Bord Luthchleas na h-Éireann and which would be in a position to advise in relation to the issues raised. The Association can be contacted at Unit 19, Northwood Court, Northwood Business Campus, Santry, Dublin 9, Ph; 8869933 email admin@athleticsireland.ie.
