I will respond on that. The review recommends that the Arts Council should give greater feedback to unsuccessful applicants for funding. There is always huge demand on funding. It would be a big help if those who apply for funding were given a detailed explanation of why they were unsuccessful. The review also recommends that a portion of the money be set aside or ring-fenced for new organisations or groups. Do our guests intend to address that suggestion?
