Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Crawford Art Gallery: Chairperson Designate

2:15 pm

Ms Rose McHugh:

There has only been one. It was not from Government; it was EU structural funding. The extension in 2000 was done with EU structural funding. It is a wonderful extension. The then Minister, President Michael D. Higgins, and then Minister of State, Mr. Toddy O'Sullivan, were very helpful in that regard. There has been no capital injection of any description as such from Government. The Crawford family did the one in the 1800s and I think it was primarily EU structural funding after that. There has been no significant capital injection from Government to date.
