Ms Tania Banotti:

This is one part of it. Separately, the Department directly supports Ealaíon na Gaeltachta and, through the Creative Ireland fund, it has asked us to help it develop an Irish language strategy for drama, which we are funding under the national creativity fund. That is not listed under the communities. It was an area where nobody was quite doing it but we felt if we gave it some support, we could lift it up. I take the Chairman's point that there could be more Irish language but we either believe in partnership, in which case it is the local authorities who decide what they want to do, or we do not. It is the local authorities who have decided the allocation between Bliain na Gaeilge and other pillars of our activity.
