Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht

My Department has no role regarding, and does not provide funding to, the National Transport Museum of Ireland.

However, I understand that officials from the National Museum of Ireland and my Department have met with representatives from the National Transport Museum of Ireland to discuss issues in relation to the Transport Museum.
