Go raibh maith agat faoí sin. The good work which forms the vast part of the picture has to be recognised, but there are critical difficulties in the sector, although I appreciate efforts are being made to change the culture, which is really important work.

I understand workers need a safe place in which to contribute in the arts sector. From the perspective of the Department and the Arts Council, I would like them to have an ongoing conversation with the committee about the tools that are necessary to strengthen their ability to ensure the system of governance will create a healthier working environment.

I thank the delegates and wish them the best of luck
