Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Accessibility for Individuals with Disabilities in Arts and Culture: Discussion

Ms Carmen Millar:

The galleries that Ms McLaughlin has been taking us to include the National Gallery of Ireland, the Crawford Gallery and the Void Gallery. Basically, it would be by special arrangement and Ms McLaughlin and the staff there would have a special guided tour. We would be taken to a special room where we would explore a certain piece of art or we would get special permission to touch certain pieces of art. In the Crawford Gallery, for example, we would get special permission to touch sculpture while it is being explained. Because this has been specially arranged by Ms McLaughlin and the staff, they would guide us through the gallery.
