Other temporary displays reflected the lack of space at the Gallery, but were well received by our visitors. Of particular note was a group of ten drawings by Leonardo da Vinci from the Royal Collection, exhibited for ten weeks during the summer and supported by Key Capital. Over 92,000 visitors came to this free exhibition, a gesture of thanks from the Gallery for the continuing patience of our visitors during the protracted building works.

Turner: The Vaughan Bequest

2016 1–31 January 2016

PRINT GALLERY | ADMISSION FREE

In 1900 the National Gallery of Ireland received

ANNUAL REPORT a bequest of 31 watercolours by J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) from an English collector Henry Vaughan (1809–99). Vaughan had no connections with Ireland but may have been inspired by the critic and writer John Ruskin, who suggested that Turner’s watercolours should be distributed to museums around the United Kingdom. In his will, Vaughan, who divided his collection between the national galleries of London, Edinburgh and Dublin, stipulated that the watercolours should be exhibited every year, free of charge, for the month of January. This annual exhibition showed works from all periods of Turner’s career, including early topographical scenes and colourful, expressive images from his later European tours.

Conservation

In preparation for the re-opening of the Dargan and Milltown wings the conservation team has implemented the mobile climate monitoring system; 27 stations are positioned throughout 55 galleries, stores, No. 5 and Library stacks, in order to maintain museum standards for the current collection and for lenders’ information requests. Conservation runs the Integrated Pest

Management Programme and collection housekeeping and it is an integral part NATIONAL GALLERY OF IRELAND of emergency planning. Also it actively contributes to the acquisition discussion. The Photography department is responsible for a wide range of documentation and research of the Collection; it also documents exhibitions, building and activities to support the Gallery’s strategic objectives. Sharing skills and knowledge, promoting and consolidating partnerships with conservation institutes and museums in Ireland and abroad is one of the main strategic strands of the department.

Internship and training students work placements programme The Department has a successful internship programme that continues to provide a much valued support to the permanent staff. The student placements are fulfilling an important element of a first or higher degree course in conservation. We gain from the interns’ fresh outlook and the work they do under supervisions. Students benefit from valuable hands-on experience to complement their theoretical knowledge. In 2015/16 we hosted two internships programmes with students from Queens University, Ontario, Canada and from the Technical University of Munich in Germany. Every year conservation runs an internship programme in collaboration with the Irish Heritage Council primarily aimed at students who have completed specialised conservation courses in the areas of paper, book bindings and painting. The programme is run in partnership with the Chester Beatty Library, the National Library of Ireland, The National Archives and Trinity College Dublin’s Old Library. 62 COLLECTIONS & RESEARCH

Website & Social Media The NGI website, launched in 2010, consists of over 4,000 indexed pages, and attracts approximately 450,000 users a year, with an average of 128,000 page views each month. The site is constantly growing and evolving, and is an integral way for the Gallery to showcase its extensive collections, many exhibitions, broad range of public programming and other activities. In light of the reopening of the refurbished historic wings next year, the rebranding process was completed in 2016. Most importantly, to address the needs of our growing digital audience, the Gallery embarked on a redevelopment and redesign of the website. The procurement for the upgrade or replacement of the current Website Content Management System, and related services for the National Gallery of Ireland got underway in June. The contract was awarded to Reading Room, an award-winning digital consultancy, formed in 1996, with offices throughout the UK, multiple locations in Europe, and the USA. They proposed the adoption of an Open Source platform Drupal version 8 which will allow the Gallery to be much more independent in terms of development of the site in the future and will move the NGI to a far more economical long term digital solution. In the new proposed arrangement the website and CMS will be hosted externally. The new designed site is due to be launched in 2017.

Early Years Our Early Years group benefitted this year from tours aimed at new parents, sensory baby workshop. These sensory workshops last approximately 30 minutes, and are limited to 10 babies from birth to not yet walking. The workshops were given by tutors with experience of working with babies, and focused on simple themes of light, colour, texture, and sound.

Children and Families The Gallery has a focus on facilitating great experiences for children and families, and has signed up to the Kids in Museums manifesto as part of making the Gallery a family-friendly venue. In 40 weeks of 2016, we provided Family Weekend Workshops where skilled tutors devised a creative workshop according to a number of changing themes. During the summer these workshops were run on weekdays to facilitate school holidays. Mid-term workshops were sold out and enabled children to plan their own exhibition through Young Curators or focus on the spooky and creepy themes around Halloween.

HR In 2016, HR was responsible for the delivery of specific key projects in the Gallery which included a review of the organisational structure, management of significant recruitment campaigns and staff development. The Gallery conducted a review of the organisational structure which provided a framework for the Strategic Plan 2016–2018. HR has made significant inroads to embed this new structure by recruiting key senior posts and other specialist roles. In addition to this, a large recruitment campaign was launched in Quarter 4 to hire 36 additional staff to work as Visitor Experience Administrators and Museum Security Officers. This has resulted in a 40% increase in staff numbers in the Gallery in advance of the Gallery re-opening in June 2017. In 2016 the Gallery placed significant emphasis on, and investment in, the development of staff. There has been a number of group and individual training programmes arranged to develop a broad range of specialist skills. The Gallery streamlined the Further Education and Training scheme. This scheme invites staff to apply for funding bi-annually for educational courses that complements their career development. In addition, all line managers took part in a management development programme. This was a precursor to the implementation of the Staff Development Programme which was launched in January 2017. The objective of the Staff Development Programme is to empower all staff to develop their skills and/or drive their careers within the Gallery and the Arts sector. This Staff Development Programme is a bespoke project and is one of the first of its kind in the Arts Sector in Ireland.

One of the key IT activities of the year was establishing a helpdesk system to give better visibility on support issues and their resolution. The system went live in July and over 700 support tickets were logged and successfully closed by the end of the year: Towards the end of the year, much of IT time was devoted to establishing connectivity with the data infrastructure in the newly refurbished historic wing, including building management, fire and lighting systems.

Gallery Shop

Despite a difficult start, 2016 proved a successful trading year for the Shop with turnover and net contribution increases. Like for like sales against 2015 increased by 10%. As the MDP entered its final stages periodic room closures continued to present challenges to revenue generation. These obstacles were counteracted by a number of key events which helped to boost sales. The Shop benefited greatly from the uplift in visitor numbers that resulted from the various 1916 Commemoration events. The in focus exhibition, James Stephens, the National Gallery of Ireland and the 1916 Rising exceeded expectations and generated sales across all associated product ranges. The Gallery’s main contribution to the centenary celebrations Creating History: Stories of Ireland in Art provided the opportunity for a publishing collaboration with Irish Academic Press bringing the Gallery’s research on the topic to a national and international audience. The commercial highlight of the year was Leonardo da Vinci Ten Drawings from the Royal Collection. This exhibition saw revenue increase over the summer months by over 30% on the previous year with 3,500 catalogues and 16,000 related items of merchandise being sold. NATIONAL GALLERY OF IRELAND 99

• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently • Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent • Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the National Gallery of Ireland will continue in operation • State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The Board is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, its financial position which enables it to ensure that the financial statements comply with Section 35 of the National Cultural Institutions Act 1997. The Board is also responsible for safeguarding its assets and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL 2016 Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann

Bunaíodh Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann le hAcht Parlaiminte in 1854 agus osclaíodh don phobal é in 1864, agus is é an áit chónaithe don bhailiúchán náisiúnta d’ealaín Éireannach agus Eorpach chomh maith le mínealaín.

Tá os cionn 16,300 saothar ealaíne mórthaibhseach sa Ghailearaí, forlíonta leis an mBailiúchán Náisiúnta Portráide, mar aon le bailiúcháin ealaíne chartlainne agus leabharlainne tagartha. Téann an bailiúchán siar chomh fada leis an gceathrú haois déag agus suas go dtí an lá atá inniu ann, agus tugtar léiriú leathan de na mórealaíontóirí go léir d’ealaín Iarthar na hEorpa. Fra Angelico, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Goya, Claude Monet, Berthe Morrisot, Pablo Picasso, Gabriele Münter agus Lyonel Feininger. Baineann na bailiúcháin is feiceálaí leis an mbailiúchán Éireannach, ina bhfuil saothair le Daniel Maclise, Nathaniel Hone, Thomas Roberts, Roderic O’Conor, John Lavery, William Orpen, Paul Henry, Evie Hone, Jack B. Yeats, Norah McGuinness, agus Louis le Brocquy. I measc na n-áiseanna taighde tá an Lárionad BSL um Staidéar ar Ealaín na hÉireann, Seomra Staidéir Priontaí agus Líníochta, Cartlann William Orpen, Cartlann Yeats, agus an Leabharlann & Cartlann Denis Mahon. Cuireann an Gailearaí fáilte roimh líon mór do chuairteoirí as Éirinn agus as tíortha thar lear gach bliain.

Tá an cead isteach sa bhailiúchán buan saor in aisce. ÁR MISEAN

Cúram a dhéanamh d’ealaín, í a léirmhíniú, a fhorbairt agus a thaispeáint ionas gur áit iontach é Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann chun teagmháil leis an ealaín.

Bronnadh dhá phictiúr luatha le Patrick Scott i gcuimhne ar Herbert agus Mary Unger. Bhronn John Burton, sliocht de Frederic William Burton a rugadh dhá chéad bhliain ó shin sraith bheag dá chuid saothar ar pháipéar. Agus, faoi dheireadh, chuir Siúracha na Trócaire i mBéal Átha hAmhnais, Co. Mhaigh Eo, dhá n-oibreacha tógála fada. D’atreoraigh an Gailearaí a dheontas éadála rialtais chuig an MF ó 2010 ar aghaidh. Ach, áfach bronnadh saothair shuntasacha ar an nGailearaí le linn na bliana. Is dhá phictiúr ollmhóra iad Rubens agus an péire tríd an scéim Alt 1003, lena dtugtar creidmheas cánach ar dhaoine a bhronnann saothair ar institiúidí cultúrtha náisiúnta creidiúnaithe. Chuir na bronntóiríDenis agus Catherine O’Brien, agus Lochlann agus Brenda Quinn saibhreas le bailiúchán an Ghailearaí lena gcuid tacaíochta flaithiúla tríd an scéim.Tá áit bhuan chuí sa bhailiúchán náisiúnta faighte anois ag na saothair seo, tar éis don fhondúireacht Alfred Beit iad a chur ar díol agus bhí imní sa phobal mar gheall air seo. fairsing de phriontaí, monaipriontaí agus líníochtaí le George Wallace, lena chuid saothar luath i mBaile Átha Cliath agus i St Austell, agus priontaí a rinne sé ina dhiaidh sin ar feadh blianta nuair a bhí cónaí air i gCeanada agus é ina mhúinteoir.

Táimid buíoch asan tacaíocht ó chiste céad bliain 1916/2016an rialtais.

B’ócáid chomórthaden Ghailearaí é féin — foilseachán de dhírbheathaisnéis James Stephens ina ndearna sé taifead ar imeachtaí sheachtain na Cásca i 1916 — é an taispeántas beag faoin a raibh údar, cáil air ós rud é gur cláraitheoir an Ghailearaí é. Bhí an easpa spáis sa Ghailearaí le feiceáil i dtaispeántais shealadacha eile, ach bhí nacuairteoirí sásta leo. Go háirithe, bhí sraith de dheich líníocht le Leonardo da Vinci ón mBailiúchán Ríoga, a bhí ar taispeántas ar feadh deich seachtaine le linn an tsamhraidh agus le tacaíocht ó Key Capital. Thug os cionn 92,000 duine cuairt ar an taispeántas seo a bhí saor in aisce, comhartha buíochais ón nGailearaí as a gcuid foighne leanúnach le linn na Ghailearaí le linn na bliana.

TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL BHLIANTÚIL TUARASCÁIL J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) ó bhailitheoir Sasanach Henry Vaughan (1809–99). Ní raibh aon cheangal ag Vaughan le hÉirinn ach is cosúil gur spreag an léirmheastóir agus scríbhneoir John Ruskin é, a mhol gur chóir pictiúir uiscedhatha Turner a scaipeadh ar na músaeim ar fud na Ríochta Aontaithe. Ina uacht, d’ordaigh Vaughan, a roinn a bhailiúcháin idir na gailearaithe náisiúnta i Londain, i nDún Éideann agus i mBaile Átha Cliath, gur chóir na pictiúir uiscedhatha a thaispeáint saor in aisce gach bliain, ar feadh mhí Eanáir. Sa taispeántas bliantúil seo, taispeánadh saothair ó gach tréimhse de ghairm bheatha Turner, lena n-áirítear radhairc thopagrafacha luath agus íomhánna ildaite, léiritheacha óna thurais san Eoraip níos déanaí.

Bailiúcháin Caomhnú

Tá an rannóg chaomhnaithe freagrach as cúram a thabhairt do na bailiúcháin. Tugann sé comhairle do rannóga coimeádaíochta agus tugann sé faoi ghnáth-ghníomhaíochtaí a bhaineann le beartais

2016 agus nósanna imeachta cúraim na mbailiúchán, taispeántais agus iasachtaí. Déanann sí bainistíocht freisin ar gach gné de mhonatóireacht agus rialú comhshaoil lena n-áirítear soilsiú nádúrtha

Caomhnú

D’fhonn athoscailt na sciathán Dargan agus Milltown a ullmhú, chuir an fhoireann chaomhnaithe an córas monatóireachta aeráide soghluaiste i bhfeidhm; tá 27 stáisiún ar fud an 55 gailearaí, siopa, Uimh. 5 agus cruacha Leabharlainne, d’fhonn caighdeáin mhúsaeim a choimeád don bhailiúchán reatha agus d’iarratais ar fhaisnéis ó na hiasachtóirí. Tá an Rannóg GAILEARAÍ NÁISIÚNTA NA HÉIREANN Chaomhnaithe i gceannas an Clár Comhtháite um Bainistíocht Lotnaide agus fódóireacht bhailiúcháin agus is cuid lárnach den phleanáil bainistíochta é. Glacann sé páirt ghníomhach i bplé éadála. Tá an Rannóg Ghrianghrafadóireachta freagrach as raon leathan de dhoiciméadú agus taighde a bhaineann leis an mBailiúchán; déantar doiciméadú freisin de thaispeántais, tógáil agus gníomhaíochtaí chun tacú le cuspóirí straitéiseacha an Ghailearaí. Is é ceann de na príomhghnéithe straitéiseacha atá ag an Rannóg ná scileanna agus eolas a roinnt, comhpháirtíochtaí a chur chun cinn agus a chomhdhlúthú le hinstitiúidí agus músaeim caomhnaithe in Éirinn agus thar lear.

Intéirneacht agus clár socrúcháin oibre do mhic léinn i mbun oiliúna Tá clár intéirneachta rathúil ar bun ag an Rannóg, lena gcuirtear ar fáil tacaíocht luachmhar do na baill foirne bhuana. Tá na socrúcháin mhic léinn ag comhlíonadh gné tábhachtaí de chúrsa ardchéime sa chaomhnú. Bainimid leas as an dearcadh úr atá ag na hintéirnigh agus an obair a dhéanann siad faoi mhaoirseacht. Baineann na mic léinn leas as taithí luachmhar theagmhálach chun cur lena n-eolas teoiriciúil. I 2015/16, d’óstálamar dhá chlár intéirneachta le mic léinn ó Ollscoil Queens, Ontario, Ceanada agus ón Ollscoil Theicniúil i München, sa Ghearmáin. Gach bliain, reáchtálann an rannóg chaomhnaithe clár intéirneachta i bpáirt le Comhairle Oidhreachta na hÉireann, atá dírithe go príomha ar mhic léinn a chur sainchúrsaí caomhnaithe i bhfeidhm sna réimsí páipéir, ceangail leabhar agus péintéireacht. Reáchtáiltear an clár i bpáirtíocht le Chester Beatty Library, Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann, na Cartlanna Náisiúnta agus Sean-Leabharlann Choláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath. 62 BAILIÚCHÁIN & TAIGHDE

AD In 2016, bhí AD freagrach as tionscadail thábhachtacha áirithe a sheachadadh sa Ghailearaí, lenar áiríodh athbhreithniú ar an struchtúr eagraíochtúil, bainistíocht d’fheachtais earcaíochta shuntasacha agus forbairt foirne. Rinne an Gailearaí athbhreithniú ar an struchtúr eagraíochtúil, lenar cuireadh ar fáil creatlach straitéiseach don Phlean Straitéiseach 2016–2018. Rinne na hAcmhainní Daonna dul chun cinn suntasach chun an struchtúr nua seo a leabú trí phríomhphoist shinsearacha a earcú (chomh maith le sainróil eile). Ina theannta sin, seoladh feachtas earcaíochta mór i Ráithe 4 chun 36 ball foirne breise a earcú chun obair a dhéanamh mar Riarthóirí don Eispéireas Cuairteora agus mar Oifigigh Shlándála Mhúsaeim. Mar thoradh air seo, tháinig méadú de 40% ar líon na mball foirne sa Ghailearaí roimh athoscailt an Ghailearaí i mí Mheithimh 2017. In 2016, leag an Gailearaí béim shuntasach ar, agus d’infheistigh sé, i bhforbairt na mball foirne. Eagraíodh roinnt cláir oiliúna do ghrúpaí agus do dhaoine aonair chun raon leathan de shainscileanna a fhorbairt. Rinne an Gailearaí an scéim um Breisoideachas agus Oiliúint a chuíchóiriú. Leis an scéim, cuirtear fáilte roimh na baill foirne iarradh ar mhaoiniú faoi dhó sa bhliain i gcomhar cúrsaí oideachais a chuireann lena bhforbairt ghairme. Ina theannta sin, ghlac na bainisteoirí líne go léir páirt i gclár um fhorbairt bhainistíochta. Bhí sé seo mar réamhtheachtaí do chur i bhfeidhm an Chláir um Fhorbairt Foirne a seoladh i mí Eanáir 2017. Ba é an cuspóir den Chlár um Fhorbairt Foirne ná cumhacht a thabhairt do na baill foirne go léir a gcuid scileanna a fhorbairt agus/nó a gcuid gairmeacha a neartú laistigh den Ghailearaí agus den earnáil Ealaíona. Is tionscadal saincheaptha é an Clár um Fhorbairt Foirne, agus is é an chéad cheann dá leithéid san Earnáil Ealaíona in Éirinn.

D’fhorbair an TF deais faisnéise chun KPIanna na rannóige a chóimheas d’fhonn tuairisciú chuig an Stiúrthóir agus an Bord a éascú. I mí Aibreáin, rinne TF seisiún anailíse gnó le héascaitheoir seachtrach chun oiriúnacht Sharepoint a mheas i gcomhar na riachtanais atá ag dul i méid a chomhlíonadh maidir le hinlíon don Ghailearaí uile agus i gcomhar feabhas a chur ar na próisis oibre

D’oibrigh an TF go dlúth le comhghleacaithe san Eispéireas Cuairteora chun an deasc thicéad a chruthú agus tacaíocht a thabhairt dó don taispeántas rathúil de Leonardo da Vinci. Ba é ceann de phríomhghníomhaíochtaí TF na bliana ná deasc cabhrach a bhunú chun infheictheacht níos fearr a thabhairt maidir le saincheisteanna tacaíochta agus na réitigh a ghabhann leo. Chuaigh an córas beo i mí Iúil agus rinneadh os cionn 700 ticéad tacaíochta a logáil agus cuireadh i gcrích iad faoi dheireadh na bliana. Ag deireadh na bliana, bhí formhór am na TF tiomanta do nascacht a bhunú leis an infreastruchtúr sonraí sa sciathán stairiúil a athchóiríodh le déanaí, lena n-áirítear bainistíocht foirgnimh, córais dóiteáin agus soilsithe.

Ciste Scoláireachta John Barry/ Bunaíodh an ciste seo i 1988 chun Scoláireacht a sholáthar ar mhaithe le Petronella Brown taighde oideachais a chur chun cinn agus a spreagadh.

Comhairle Dargan Bunaíodh an Chomhairle Dargan in 2005 chun cistí a bhailiú le mórshaothair ealaíne a cheannach a rachaidh chun tairbhe Bhailiúchán an Ghailearaí.

Ciste Comhaltachta Bunaíodh an ciste seo trí ghníomhas i 1986 (agus leasaithe in 2005) chun ioncam a ghiniúint d’fhonn Comhaltacht a sholáthar i réimsí taighde, caomhnaithe, péintéireachta, dealbhóireachta agus chun críocha acadúla eile.

Ciste Lane Bunaíodh an ciste seo i 1918 nuair a thiomnaigh Sir Hugh Lane cuid dá eastát do Ghailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann go sonrach chun pictiúir Éireannacha a fháil.

Ciste Sciathán na Mílaoise Bunaíodh an ciste seo chun tabhartais ó dhaoine príobháideacha ar mhaithe le Sciathán Mílaoise an Ghailearaí a thógáil agus lena chaiteachas gaolmhar. 2016

Cuntais Cúlchiste (Nóta 21)

Ciste Shaw Bunaíodh an ciste seo i 1950 nuair a fuair George Bernard Shaw bás, agus thiomnaigh sé aon trian den ioncam iarmharach dá eastát ar Ghailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann le leathnú faoi lánrogha Bord na nGobharnóirí agus na gCaomhnóirí. TUARASCÁIL BHLIANTÚIL BHLIANTÚIL TUARASCÁIL

Siopa Leabhair an Ghailearaí Náisiúnta Trádálann na siopaí leabhar mar Rannóg Foilseachán agus Miondíola an Ghailearaí agus bunaíodh é ar dtús faoin Iontaobhas Magawley Banon.

Cuntas Tabhartas Taifeadann an cuntas seo gach idirbheart maidir le hairgead a bronnadh ar an nGailearaí agus ioncam tráchtála a gineadh lena n-áirítear scoláireachtaí, gníomhaíochtaí oideachais, ioncam ó cheadúnas bialainne agus ó shaoráidí an Ghailearaí a fháil ar cíos.

Cuntas Taispeántas Taifeadann an cuntas seo ioncam agus caiteachas a bhaineann le Taispeántais.

Is aonáin dhlíthiúla iad seo a leanas, agus tá siad ar leithligh ón nGailearaí, faoi theorainn ráthaíochta: (Note 20)

Cairde Ghailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann Bunaíodh an chuideachta seo, atá teoranta de réir ráthaíochta, i 1986 chun tacú le gníomhaíochtaí an Ghailearaí trí bhallraíocht a earcú, chun léirthuiscint do phéintéireacht, dealbhóireacht agus ailtireacht a spreagadh.

Ciste na Breataine don Ghailearaí Náisiúnta Is carthanas atá cláraithe sa RA í an chuideachta seo, atá faoi theorainn ráthaíochta, a bunaíodh chun cistí a thiomsú chun Sciathán na Mílaoise a thógáil, agus bhronn sí Cistí freisin chun pictiúir de bhunús agus ó ré faoi leith a fháil.

Áirítear sonraí maidir le tuarastal agus costais an Stiúrthóra i Nóta 8. Tar éis cinneadh a rinne an tAire Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta, ní bheidh táillí boird iníoctha a thuilleadh tar éis an 28 Feabhra 2014.

Glacann an Gailearaí Náisiúnta le nósanna imeachta de réir na dtreoirlínte arna n-eisiúint ag an Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe, ag cumhdach leasanna pearsanta bhaill an Bhoird. Sa ghnáthchúrsa gnó, féadfaidh an Gailearaí Náisiúnta socruithe conartha a dhéanamh le haonáin ina bhfuil a bhaill den Bhord fostaithe nó a bhfuil leas acu iontu ar shlí eile. I gcás coinbhleacht leasa a d’fhéadfadh tarlú, ní fhaigheann baill an Bhoird doiciméid de chuid an Bhoird nó ní bhíonn siad rannpháirteach ar shlí eile nó ní fhreastalaíonn siad ar phlé maidir leis na hidirbhearta sin.

22. Máistirphlean Forbartha

I mí Eanáir 2014, cuireadh tús le tionscadal chun dá sciathán sa Ghailearaí atá níos sine, agus críochnaíodh é i mí na Nollag 2016. Thug an Gailearaí €12.1 milliún san

2016 iomlán do chostas an tionscadail seo. Is é an Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta, Gnóthaí Réigiúnacha, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta a mhaoinigh na costais bhreise in éineacht le hOifig na nOibreacha Poiblí (OOP). Taifeadadh luach na sócmhainne i ráitis airgeadais an OOP.

Tá an Gailearaí páirteach i roinnt agóidí dlíthiúla as a bhféadfadh dliteanais airgeadais éirí ag brath ar a dtoradh. Ní féidir méid iomlán nó uainiú na ndliteanas teagmhasach sin a mheas go cinnte ag an tráth seo ach ní dóigh go sáróidh siad €500,000 ar aon slí.

D'fhaomh an Bord na ráitis airgeadais seo ar 13 Iúil 2017.

25. Bunreacht

Bunaíodh an Gailearaí Náisiúnta trí Acht Parlaiminte an 10 Lúnasa 1854. Tá Stádas Carthanais aige agus tá sé cláraithe leis na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim faoi CHY 2345. GAILEARAÍ NÁISIÚNTA NA HÉIREANN 127

I rith na bliana 2016, iocadh ús agus cúiteamh arbh fhiú €166 é le soláthróirí i dtaca le híocaíochtaí déanacha. Cuireadh nósanna imeachta cuntasaíochta i bhfeidhm lena chinntiú go ndéantar sonraisc a phróiseáil go tapa agus go héifeachtúil agus dá réir sin cloíonn siad le téarmaí an Achta. In ainneoin na nósanna imeachta sin, mar thoradh ar imthosca nach bhfuil aon smacht again orthu d’fhéadfadh neamhchomhlíonadh áirithe a bheith le téarmaí an Achta. Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann freisin téarmaí sonracha íocíochta atá áirithe I gconarthaí scríofa le soláthraithe. Deimhníonn Gailearaí Náisiúnta na hÉireann freisin go raibh 2 íocaíocht níos ná €317 déanach trí thagairt don Acht. Ba é 0.03% an cion de na híocaíochtaí déanacha a bhí le híocaíochtaí iomlána.
