Ms Catherine Heaney:

Unfortunately, I cannot give a figure for the costs involved. The Chairman will appreciate that, being a new board that was only appointed in June, we have met only twice. There are a few historic issues associated with the personnel at the museum. It is something of which we, as a board, are conscious. Recently we set up our standing committees. At our November board meeting we will examine issues of personnel governance, etc. It is on our agenda. I can report to the Chairman on the costs by letter to be shared with the rest of the committee, as I do not have them to hand.
