Consideration is not currently being given to a proposal to create a museum quarter on a green field site as referred to by the Deputy. The national cultural institutions currently occupy buildings and locations, which are of great aesthetic, historical and cultural significance. The State has invested considerably in the development of these locations and is continuing to do so. The National Development Plan 2007-2013, includes an extensive programme of major capital developments in the national cultural institutions. This programme includes the development of the Centre Block exhibition galleries at the National Museum in Collins Barracks and the redevelopment of the Natural History Museum, the development of a new National Concert Hall and a new National Theatre, the major extension of facilities at the National Library, the National Gallery, the Chester Beatty Library, the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the redevelopment of the National Archives.
