Seanad move surprises museum director
Museum director Dr Pat Wallace complained that he only heard the details of the plan in media reports yesterday and was “in fear” for the safety of exhibits, including the skeletons of a blue whale and a woolly mammoth among the two million specimens housed there.
“As I stand now I don’t have an alternative place to go. I don’t have the eight or nine people it would take to document every specimen before a move. I have no transport and no storage,” said Dr Wallace.
