Organizational Structure

The Armagh Observatory and the Armagh Planetarium are two distinctive organizations, part of a single corporate entity ``The Governors of the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium'' described in The Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (Northern Ireland) Order 1995, which superseded the original 1791 Act of the Irish Parliament entitled "An Act for Settling and Preserving a Public Observatory and Museum in the City of Armagh For Ever", and an Amendment of 1938 (``The University and Collegiate and Scientific Institutions Act [Northern Ireland], 1938''). The Northern Ireland Order 1995 has recently been amended by the Audit and Accountability (Northern Ireland) Order 2003. Both the Armagh Observatory and the Armagh Planetarium operate independently under separate Directors and receive core funding from the Northern Ireland Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure. The total staff complement is approximately 40: roughly 30 in the Observatory and 10 in the Planetarium.

The Observatory Director reports to a Management Committee which meets three times per year, and (annually) to the Board of Governors. The Management Committee (15 members) and Board of Governors (15 members) together comprise representatives from a wide range of involved parties, including the Church of Ireland, the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), the Queen's University of Belfast (QUB), the UK astronomical community (e.g. members of UK universities and the Astronomer Royal for England), the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), the DCAL, and other bodies. Core funding is provided by grant-in-aid from the DCAL, while from time to time variable amounts of additional funding are obtained from bodies such as the PPARC, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the British Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the European Union (EU), and other grant awarding organizations. The respective memberships of the Management Committee and the Board of Governors are summarized in Appendix A, while the approximately 30 staff members of the Observatory at 31 December 2003 are listed in Appendix B.
