Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
Estimates for Public Services 2017
Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised)
1:30 pm
Chairman:
The Minister and the Oireachtas have responsibility for the expenditure of taxpayers' money. The Minister is correct that under the Arts Act 2003 the Arts Council is independent in its functions but only as provided for in section 24. What happens when these organisations do not comply with the law? Are we to stand over the Arts Council continuing to fund them and allowing them to proceed as is?
