Ms Katherine Licken:

We had a programme of investment in cultural infrastructure going back to the early 2000s, the ACCESS II programme, where we did major infrastructural investment in cultural centres around the country. We have focused since then on maintenance and upkeep of those. Some are not complete but most of them are. There have been a few completed only recently. Sometimes they take time and encounter difficulties. Our focus now is on capital to help them upgrade, for example, for climate purposes, or to maintain them in the order they are in.

We do not currently have a big investment programme, for example, in new cultural centres. A lot of our focus in on the cultural institutions at the moment because, as Mr. Falvey said, it is a once-in-a-generational infrastructure investment programme that we are embarking on. That should see the likes of what was done in the gallery - hopefully, without the cost overruns - replicated right across this infrastructure, including the library, the museum and the archives.
