On behalf of the committee I welcome Ms Freda Manweiler, company manager, Ms Mary Moynihan, company director, and Ms Olivia O'Hagan, board director, of the Smashing Times theatre company. Arts and culture initiatives play a fundamentally important role in bringing communities together and fostering cross-Border co-operation. The committee is very interested in hearing about the cross-Border project in which Smashing Times is involved and we hope today's discussion leads to greater understanding of how a project can be brought to fruition and the responses on both sides of the Border.
