I will answer the last question first. There are conditions on Arts Council funding and they include a requirement that recipients must comply with all laws applicable to the body in question, including statutory obligations under employment law statutes, regulations and revenue requirements. Harassment and bullying is covered under employment law so it is covered.

In addition, recipients must avoid any form of discriminatory practice and have regard for the need to promote equal opportunities in all areas of work in compliance with the provisions of the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2011. The Arts Council is doing that. It is a requirement that bodies must comply with the legislation.
