Mr. Pádraig Naughton:

To answer Senator O'Donnell's question, Ignite has not happened again. However, the Arts Council would say that its invitation to collaborate is a scheme that is beginning to deliver in a similar way. With regard to tourism, I am not as afraid of that as many people in the arts are. In fact, I want a piece of it. It gives great visibility to people with disabilities in terms of the high quality work we can create, as we showed with Cork Ignite. It is said that 28,000 people come to the city of Cork for Culture Night and we got 10,000 of them. That is incredible visibility.
