Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish Museum Survey, which I launched in November 2016, provides very useful research on the spread of museums across the country, and underlines the important role which museums play in interpreting, educating and providing enjoyment to all citizens. The recommendations contained therein will require careful and coordinated consideration by my Department, the Irish Museums Association , the Heritage Council, Local Authorities and other key stakeholders across the sector. That process is now underway.
