View answerEngagement with the national cultural institutions on the Reform Agenda is ongoing and intensive.
In relation to the Boards of the National Library and the National Museum, work is ongoing bilaterally with the Directors of the institutions and regular meetings of my Departments' Reform Committee have taken place to further the implementation of the Government's Reform Plan. I intend to seek Government approval in the coming weeks for draft Heads of Bill, which will provide the necessary legislation to give effect to the reform measures in relation the Boards and governance arrangements.
