The Working Committees of the Board being the GPAC, Audit Committee and the Development and Corporate Committee were put in place and each of the Committees have performed their functions with great effect from the outset. I compliment the Chairpersons and members of all the Committees for their work and commitment. The most significant issues and challenges that faced the NMI throughout 2011 were those posed by the budgetary constraints. Those matters were faced with skill and determination by Dr Wallace and his team and thankfully the adverse impact caused by the same was managed and controlled to commendable effect. The total allocation to the NMI was reduced to €14,240,000 for the year in 2011. On the face of it and in reality this posed huge challenges across the entire range of the Museum’s activities. The public service moratorium had and is having a significant impact, particularly in key areas of specialist skills within the Museum.
