Peadar Tóibín: The reason I raise it is that there is a cost to everything. Obviously, if the State finds itself on the wrong end of this decision, the costs must come out of the commemoration of 1916, which is ironic in a way.

Peadar Tóibín: My final question relates to the National Museum. I also put this question to the chairperson designate. There is a big concern about the human resources, HR, difficulties that are taking place within the financial unit at the National Museum. Two individuals have brought High Court cases against the museum and a third has been made redundant. I understand four individuals have had...

Peadar Tóibín: Tá cúpla ceist agam don Aire faoi seo, the National Parks and Wildlife Service. As Deputy Ó Cuív mentioned, we had a delegation from the local authorities last week.

Galway County Council had submissions with the NPWS and...
