‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - National Museum — National Gallery Appointments. National Gallery roof repairs
Summary
Enright asked when urgent roof repairs would begin, citing damage to paintings and reports on the Gallery’s condition. The Taoiseach said funding had been provided and the work would start as soon as possible.
Is the Taoiseach in a position to state when the new director will be able to supervise these very urgent works in view of the fact that many paintings were seriously damaged as documented on television and in newspapers?
Comment on this
Arrangements are being made to provide some assistance for the new director. A substantial sum of money has been provided for the necessary improvements in the gallery.
