1990 Annual Release: Department of the Taoiseach Central Registry
Commencing in 1922, the Central Registry files of the Department of the Taoiseach and of its predecessor, the Department of the President of the Executive Council, were originally numbered in a straight numerical sequence and bear the alphabetical prefix ‘S’. The content of the files is varied, containing primarily background papers, including memoranda and correspondence, relating to matters considered at meetings of Government. The files also document the formulation and administration of Government policy, the performance by the Taoiseach of duties as head of Government, as well as more routine internal departmental matters, such as staffing and accommodation. The files released for 1990 include reference to Ireland’s European Council Presidency, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and the Stardust Disaster Tribunal.
A selection of files have been scanned and are available to view as PDF documents below. See here for the full list to the complete 1990 release.
