I propose to take Questions Nos. 214 and 216 together.

Cherishing our cultural heritage is one of three core principles underpinning Culture 2025: the Cultural Policy Framework to 2025, published in January 2020.

In this regard each of the national cultural institutions under the aegis of my Department has its own policies in relation to the acquisition, ownership and copyright of items of national cultural importance held in the national collections.

My Department does not have responsibility for the day to day operation of the national cultural institutions and details of the policies in place can be obtained directly from the institutions.

Similarly my Department does not have responsibility for policies in relation to the acquisition, ownership and copyright of items of national cultural importance held by third level institutions. Details in relation to these policies can be obtained directly from those institutions or, where appropriate, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.

While my Department has overall responsibility for cherishing our cultural heritage as one of the three core principles underpinning Culture 2025: the Cultural Policy Framework to 2025, published in January 2020, it does not have responsibility for the arrangements in place regarding ownership and copyright in relation to the Book of Kells.

Details in relation to these policies can be obtained directly from Trinity College or, if appropriate, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.
