Ms Catherine Heaney:

I will just pop in on the late-night opening. The conversation on late-night opening has really just begun. As with everything, it is crucial to bring everyone that should be in the conversation into it at an early point. The museum sector is very open to being part of that dialogue on how to shape the night-time economy. The special offering of museums and galleries is that they often bridge the early evening period. The sector may not be for the crowd who want to stay out until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. but for people who go out as a family.

There are people who do not do late nights or whatever, so an early evening offering could probably play a unique part. We see that a bit with Culture Night etc.

The "how" is probably the deeper question because everything is resource-driven. All our galleries and museums have very valuable and important collections that need the utmost surveillance, care and attention. It would be an addition to our existing resource requirements but there is much potential payback so beginning that conversation now would be very advantageous. Ms Scarff might speak to the digital piece.
