Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Just to be very clear, I am not giving anybody wrong information. A number of different issues have been outlined from different sources and I want to clear the record. First, there was a consultant's report in 2012 which was referred to the Department at that time. Human resources, HR, issues were mentioned in it and that was a matter for the museum. A new board was appointed to the museum in July 2016. A well-being survey was commissioned last autumn and it is now dealing with HR issues in the museum and any legacy issues. The board and the director of the museum, therefore, are dealing with those issues. As I said, the well-being survey outlined a number of issues and it is on that basis that the board and the director will address the HR issues in the museum.

I want to be clear that it is not my job to get involved in HR issues. I am very clear about that. It is the responsibility of the museum. The museum has a new board and a new chairperson. It is a very good board with a very capable chairperson and there is also the director of the museum. That is their responsibility.
