Mr. Niall Ó Donnchú:

The Department has liaison meetings on a quarterly basis with the senior management team in the National Gallery. There is also liaison from time to time with the chair of the board, as appropriate. The gallery is subject to the various circulars. We conduct routine trawls of adherence to public procurement from time to time, as we do with all of the national cultural institutions. The gallery responds in that respect.
