Ms Orlaith McBride:

As I said earlier, our new memorandum of understanding with the County and City Management Association clearly indicates that we are very committed to a strategic relationship. This will cascade down and then we will sit down with every local authority and have a local conversation with each of them. They will identify their priorities and we will identify ours, and we will work together in that context. Those local conversations are taking place between the Arts Council and each local authority. That is where the local flavour will come into the conversation but the local authority will bring that to the table.
