Ms Rose McHugh:

Even only having come into the Crawford Art Gallery a month ago, my experience enables me to go in, assess the situation and prioritise what needs to be done. One can sit back, look in, see what needs to be done and maybe distinguish the minor things from the larger things and then I suppose make them happen after that. The building is going to be an extremely challenging issue. I have decided that I am probably better off chairing the new committee that has been set up because it requires interaction with a number of Departments, the Office of Public Works, OPW, and the ETB. I am pulling a lot together. It is a matter of seeing what needs to be done, pulling it together and getting it done. That is what I am used to doing.
