Under cultural priorities, there is investment of €460 million for the national cultural institutions. There is also investment of €10 million for the digitisation of our national collections. The Department is working closely with the OPW on the protection of collections, including the major investment referenced by the Senator in the National Library of Ireland, which is ongoing in terms of records being decanted from the National Archives and various other projects to suit its needs as a national museum. We will consider other options but it is certainly provided for in Project Ireland 2040, and very important that it is.
