Whilst my Department provides funding to the National Cultural Institutions, the Board of each institution is responsible for all operational matters, including opening hours, and I do not have a statutory function in respect of such day-to-day matters. However, I am aware that opening hours is a matter which is kept routinely under review by all of the National Cultural Institutions and my Department will continue to actively promote and encourage public access to the collections held by our National Cultural Institutions to the greatest extent possible.
