Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

Just hang on a minute. Scotland is an example where all the galleries and museums are under one structure, the National Galleries of Scotland. There is one national organisation there although we seem to believe there must be a board of directors to run everything in this country. A body must be independent, stand-alone, with its own managing director and ten other directors, HR and administrative people, or otherwise it cannot function. That, in my view, is a load of nonsense.
