I thought long and hard before raising this question because I do not seek to cast aspersions on any individual in the National Museum of Ireland. I had hoped the Department would grab the bull by the horns on this issue and fix it. The difficulty is there but that has not been the case. Even though we have very good people in the museum and a new chair is on the board and trying to fix it, there are still massive difficulties. The National Museum of Ireland is limping along, hampered and hammered by dysfunction with regard to HR crises over the last 15 years. From the information I have received, it seems the Department does not want to get involved and to fix it.
