Ms Katherine Licken:

I certainly could not give the Deputy a percentage. The question would have to be put to the institutions themselves. The National Museum has a large store in Swords, where a huge amount of its collections are stored. For example, there are thousands of axeheads, so not all of them would be on display. They are there for storage and for research purposes and they are available to the National Museum. I can come back to the Deputy with the percentages.
