The following teaser was posted January 20, 2015 at independent.ie:
Some four million State files are set to have a new home as part of a new €8m redevelopment of the National Archives of Ireland.
The design and construction phase at the archives’ Dublin headquarters in Bishop Street will begin later this year, and will see an estimated 100 million pages stored in more suitable conditions.
It is also hoped the investment will allow for sufficient storage to accommodate a change to a 20-year rule for the release of State papers.
Launching the plans, Arts Minister Heather Humphreys said the expansion would transform the building into a “state-of-the-art” facility.
