Ms Máire Logue:

I understand what happened. At the time it was on, which was two years ago, an author was due to arrive from Israel or wherever, which created a huge issue for us. The festival's programme is fully inclusive. We have never been asked not to programme something for political reasons or by our board of directors. That situation has not arisen and I hope it never will. Our work ethos is fully inclusive and the festival programme is of the nature where this situation has never occurred. We are extremely lucky.
