National Museum of Ireland: Discussion

12:00 pm

Mr. Raghnall Ó Floinn:

The implementation officer related to the restructuring plan for the museum which is completed. The restructuring which was agreed in May 2014 is only finishing now because it has taken that long to fill the posts. That was set back at a time when we were dealing with employment control framework figures where the museum had to reduce its staffing numbers. It was a very difficult time for the museum to negotiate through that. That process is now coming to an end and the last number of posts are being filled over the coming months.
