I put it to the Minister that, in respect of the €5 million, there was no fund or pot of money that allowed people to apply to Creative Ireland for specific programmes or anything of that nature. The Creative Ireland €5 million to which the Minister keeps referring relates to the marketing of the idea of Creative Ireland, which amalgamates and promotes what was already happening in many of our local authorities.
