What can I say? The Senator will have heard the Minister for Finance outlining the fact that the budget will be very tight this year. Naturally, I will of course be making the case for all remits of my Department: the arts, heritage and the Gaeltacht. Last year we benefitted from considerable increases and the good news is that we will hold onto these. I will make the case and we will know more about the budget next week.
