The Deputy will be aware that the management of staffing issues within the National Museum of Ireland is a day-to-day matter for the management and board of the Museum. In relation to the specific matter referred to by the Deputy, I am advised that the Museum management is in ongoing contact with the relevant staff association with a view to finalising an agreement that is consistent with both the Croke Park Agreement and previous agreements reached at the Labour Relations Commission. The Deputy will appreciate that agreements entered into by my Department and the bodies under its aegis, in relation to matters that come within the remit of the Croke Park Agreement, must adhere to the provisions of that Agreement.
