As per C-Note and E-Note following s. 19 the reference in subs. (3) thereof to the Minister for the Public Service is now to be construed as a reference to the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Services, Reform and Digitalisation. The corresponding reference in s. 5(3) above must still be construed as a reference to the Minister for Finance in circumstances where, as regards the National Archives Act 1986, the functions of the Minister for Finance transferred to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (29.07.2011) by Finance (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order 2011 (S.I.
