To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the reasons for his decision to remove the autonomy and independence from the boards of the National Library and the National Museum by merging them into an advisory council operating within his Department; if the savings he has outlined will be achieved in view of the fact that the members of both boards are now working pro bono; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
