Chairman:

Let me suggest a platform in which this could be done in the context of non-compliance with employment law in the State. It is my view that were a regulatory body such as the Workplace Relations Commission to identify ongoing long-term non-compliance with the law and were no effort made to remedy the situation, it would be one of the powers of the Minister to adjudge the next application by the organisation to the Arts Council as not fulfilling the criteria and therefore not entitled to State funding.
