I propose to take Questions Nos. 385 and 386 together.

My Department has not incurred any costs of the nature described by the Deputy in the period in question.

For completeness I would advise that, under the Mobility of Collections scheme funding is made available to local and regional museums and galleries to facilitate the display of items from the National Collection .  Details of funding provided under this scheme can be viewed on my Department’s website at .

Culture Ireland also offers grant support to artists to present their work internationally which may include transport of artworks abroad.
