View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 385 and 386 together.
My Department has not incurred any costs of the nature described by the Deputy in the period in question.
For completeness I would advise that, under the Mobility of Collections scheme funding is made available to local and regional museums and galleries to facilitate the display of items from the National Collection. Details of funding provided under this scheme can be viewed on my Department’s website at http://www.ahrrga.gov.ie/arts/culture/grants-and-funding/cultural-projects-funding.
Culture Ireland also offers grant support to artists to present their work internationally which may include transport of artworks abroad.
