Is this committee to...

Peadar Tóibín: Despite the general tone of that letter, where the director clearly states that it was the 11th hour and the museum had not been au faitwith the licence conditions, is Mr. Allen is stating the museum had actually been given the full conditionality of the licence?

Tá a fhios againn go raibh go leor líomhaintí ann faoi mhí-iompar gnéis, faoi bhulaíocht agus faoi bhainistíocht trom-láimhe. Is rud tromchúiseach é gur tharla na rudaí seo in eagraíocht Stáit agus go raibh...
