Dr. Olive Braiden:
The board certainly would not agree with that, as it stands now. There is no question of that now. Occasionally in the past when there was a particular very costly exhibition a small sum was charged to view that exhibition. The gallery receives many visitors and it is important that our paintings are available for the people of Ireland to view. That is what our benefactors, who gave us paintings, requested.
