Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera): Historical research into the Battle of Clontarf does not fall within the remit of the National Museum of Ireland, which is under the aegis of my Department. Accordingly, the Deputy will appreciate that my Department has no plans to initiate the research suggested.
