€40k work to begin on Crawford Gallery’s lecture theatre

Repairs to the Crawford Gallery’s lecture room, which has been closed since March after the partial collapse of a roof light, are due to get under way soon after a €40,000 grant was sanctioned.

A spokesperson for the Cork City gallery, the only member of the Council of National Cultural Institutions outside Dublin, said the work should take about six weeks to complete, at which point the lecture theatre should reopen.
