Development of Local and Community Arts: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Padraic McIntyre:

As part of the development of Townhall Cavan, there are three studio spaces on the top floor. Two are for visual artists and there is one audiovisual studio. These have proved very popular. We run bursaries for three months, so there is money, through both the arts office and Townhall Cavan, as well as the space for the artists. They work there for periods of three months. The problem the arts office has come up against in the context of bigger bursaries relates to procurement.
