Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Sexual Harassment in the Arts and Culture Sector: Discussion

2:30 pm

Ms Katherine Licken:

I wish to clarify the funding question. What we look for are assurances and governance. No more than the Arts Council, we cannot be the policing authority or the regulator in this regard but we certainly look for a range of assurances concerning governance and have always done so in funding organisations to ensure they comply with certain provisions. Where we find they are not complying, we encourage them to do so and we can withhold funding if they do not do so.
