I propose to take Questions Nos. 492 to 495, inclusive, together.
The Deputy should note that while there are a number of retail outlets operating in many of the National Cultural Institutions which are funded from my Department's Vote Group, their operations and management fall outside my direct remit and I have no statutory function in relation to these outlets. Similarly, while there are gift shops in a number of the National Parks which are funded from my Department's Vote Group, these are operated by private concerns and their operations fall outside my remit. The Deputy may wish to contact the relevant institutions directly for further information
