Minutes of a board meeting held on 4th December 1964 in which the following was discussed: the board passed a vote of sympathy for the late board member, W.E. Wylie. The question of opyright in the case of the re-issue of "Pictures in the Irish National Gallery" by Thomas MacGreevy was discussed. The offer of the Robinson Collection as raised in the previous meeting was deferred until the completion of the new wing. Further information was read in regards to establishing a Department of Conservation, with the Department of Finance agreeing to meet expenses except that of inviting guest conservators, which they believed should be met from the Shaw Fund. The board agreed to this. The purchase of "Christ on a Cross" by Giovanni di Paolo, for $220,000 was approved of, with finer details to be discussed during the next meeting [NGI 1768]. The purchase of the portrait of Professor Mahaffy was confirmed [NGI 1767]. The Central Museum, Utrecht, requested the loan of "Riding School" by Karel Dujardin [NGI 544], which was granted by the board. The Musees Royaux, Brussels, requested the loan of "Peasants Merrymaking" by Lucas van Uden [NGI 41], which was granted. A list of six pictures were requested to be lent for display in the Irish Embassy in Berne, which was also granted. The board agreed that an admission fee could be charged for exhibitions within the Gallery in order to cover the costs of such exhibitions. The Children's Art Holiday was to be held in the Gallery. The Director was authorised to attend the I.C.O.M. in New York to represent Ireland. Discussion was held relating to both the Lane and Shaw Funds, as well as the approval of the estimate for 1964-1965. The opening hours of the Gallery were detailed.
