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

I wish to advise the Deputy that a request for support has been received from the Little Museum of Dublin and is currently being examined by officials within my Department. This examination will have to have due regard to the availability of resources and the many competing demands for such resources.
