Funding of €30 million has been earmarked under the Culture Sub Programme of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2007-2013 for off site storage for the National Cultural Institutions, including the Irish Museum of Modern Art. The individual off-site storage needs of the National Cultural Institutions, are being dealt with progressively on an individual basis. The OPW are aware of the importance of storage matters for the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the OPW have been working on both IMMA's on-site and off-site storage facilities.
