I asked that question in a general sense. I am of the view that creativity should always have its own independence and that when a group such as Music Generation collaborates, it is to its advantage that it remains independent. The musicianship should also remains independent and not be beamed down by a big mother ship. Without the four organisations before the committee, where would we be? We sometimes let Governments off the hook because other people are doing the work. Underlying that, the Department should be leading music education for all. Third-level colleges should be doing it as well. I did not mean to make a distinction. How much money is the Government providing for the schemes?
