In the context of what is happening, it seems as though, if the Department has any connection with a State institution, there is something wrong with it. I realise they must have independence, but, eventually, ithe Department provides the funding and also gives advice and help. The National Archives of Ireland is a good example of a body in which there is an independent director and advisory council.
