Yesterday, RTE reported on letter sent to the Minister for Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphreyse from the board of the National Library of Ireland. In it they warned that all of its important collections are deteriorating because they are housed in unsuitable conditions and said it needs an extra €500,000 per annum to carry out its functions. The board also say that a lack of adequate funding means the Library is effectively not in a position to acquire any important heritage collections which are on offer to the institution.
