I wish to advise the Deputy that the Director and Head of Collections at the National Museum of Ireland have met with representatives of the owners of the collection, Dublin Tourism, to express the Museum's interest in acquiring the collection of models and other railway memorabilia. I understand that the National Museum's expression of interest is one of a number being considered by Dublin Tourism.
