68. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media to provide a progress update on the work of the expert committee examining the establishment of a national women's museum, and a list of times and dates when the advisory committee met since being established.

View answerIn September 2023, I informed the Government of my intention to establish an Advisory Committee on the representation of women and women’s stories within the collections of the National Cultural Institutions. The Committee will also consider the possibility of creating a dedicated presentation of women’s stories through a range of options, within the framework of the Public Spending Code. These options may include a women’s museum, a re-imagining of the National Collection or other initiatives that the Committee considers appropriate.
At present, the membership of the Committee has not been finalised but discussions are ongoing and I hope to be in a position to put the membership in place soon.
