Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 June 2011
344 Deputy Paschal Donohoe asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will consider re-housing the Fry Model Railway in Collins Barracks in view of the fact it is being moved out of Malahide Castle; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15675/11]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the Director and Head of Collections at the National Museum of Ireland have met with representatives of the owners of the collection, Dublin Tourism, to express the Museum's interest in acquiring the collection of models and other railway memorabilia. I understand that the National Museum's expression of interest is one of a number being considered by Dublin Tourism.
