Dublin cultural facility, which opened in 2019 in Newman House on St Stephen’s Green, blamed the cutbacks on ‘growing operational costs’

The Dublin museum, which opened in 2019 in Newman House, St Stephen’s Green, blamed the cutbacks on “growing operational costs” which it said had outpaced admissions and income growth.

“It is estimated that some 13 redundancies are required from across the museum’s operational staff including front-of-house and back-office administrative staff,” it said.However, the museum warned that if the number of voluntary redundancies does not meet the required reduction in operational costs, compulsory redundancies would “be introduced on a last-in, first-out basis”.

“Following the Covid-19 Pandemic, admissions and income growth have been increasing but this has been outpaced by the growing operational costs of the museum. The museum said its founding partners, the NLI and UCD, remain committed to the museum. The organisation’s strategic plan includes an expanded campaign “for philanthropic support to grow its pioneering learning and exhibition programmes”.
