I accept what the Deputy saying but I would like to see more involvement by the Arts Council in that project. It has plans in its ten-year strategy on making great artwork. It plans to emphasise providing for children and young people specifically.

I do not know how many counties have arts education officers. Cavan–Monaghan had one, namely the Deputy herself. I do not know the position around the country. As I stated, the model worked very well in Cavan–Monaghan and it has been regarded as an example of a pilot project that worked very well. We need to do some work on it.
