I do not have a problem with the relationship between the committee and the Department. I come here and I answer the questions. The committee serves a very important role. I acknowledge that I have received its report on the Culture 2025 - Éire Ildánach.

A lot of work went into that. It is important that the Minister and the committee work together on progressing the interest of arts, culture, heritage and the Irish language. I am happy to work with the committee and will be meeting the Chair shortly for a conversation. We have the common goal here of promoting increased participation and interest in the arts, in heritage and in the Irish language.
