Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Deputy Jimmy Deenihan)

Whilst my Department provides funding to the National Cultural Institutions, the Board of each Institution is responsible for all operational matters, including inventories, and I do not have a statutory function in respect of day-to-day operational matters.
