My next question straddles two particular sections within the Department's spend. I want to contrast the two. The Arts Council has, thankfully, received a 50% increase in funding over recent years. Foras na Gaeilge, however, has gone in the other direction. These two bodies have had very different experiences, although they are under one Department. One section has received a welcome increase to its funds, but the other has been reduced radically. How does the Minister propose to fix that?
