Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht
Arts Council: Chairman Designate
2:50 pm
Ms Sheila Pratschke:
I certainly agree with the Senator. I think I have gone on the record many times as saying that all of these things should be fun. One can work very hard and take things very serious but one can also have fun, enjoyment and pleasure. That is probably the key with young people. I would not underestimate the role of families. There is a lot of work to be done to encourage people to do things as families, such as going to a gallery on a Sunday instead of the shopping centre. That will be part of our ongoing advocacy and this notion we have of trying to develop a new language. I hope we will arrive at having a lot of fun together.
