Sandra McLellan (Cork East, Sinn Fein)

I thank the Minister for his reply. The figures he provided are promising. Has he considered the possibility of increasing the opening hours of the national cultural institutions to make them even more visitor friendly? What budget has been allocated by the cultural institutions, Tourism Ireland or Fáilte Ireland for marketing cultural institutions and heritage sites? The advertising budget of the National Gallery was slashed last year. Does the Minister have any plans to reverse this cut?
