Currently my Department has one pilot scheme underway. The Pilot Scheme for Mobility of Collections is aimed at facilitating the movement of artefacts held in the National Cultural Institutions to appropriate Local or regional Museums, either designated by the National Museum of Ireland under the National Cultural Institutions Act 1997 or participating in the Heritage Council's Accreditation Standards scheme.

The scheme will operate in 2008 and up to €100,000 is available should suitable applications be made and an evaluation will be carried out in early 2009.
