The National Gallery of Ireland is asking the Government to plug a hole of almost €2m, due to lost revenue following the Covid-19 pandemic. It comes as the gallery prepares to reopen on July 20 after more than three months in lockdown.

Art enthusiasts will be pleased to learn the gallery has extended its loans of several exhibitions before they leave Ireland. The gallery plans to provide recommended routes through the building for visitors who would like that option.
