Ms Tania Banotti:

That is a challenge. There are very few all-Government initiatives. When I joined the programme, I asked what were the other all-Government initiatives and I was told there were initiatives such as Healthy Ireland, which covers local authorities, libraries, the area of health and other areas, but that there are not many other programmes that are as ambitious as this one. Our work with creative communities means we will be working closely with rural and community development and housing and planning, but less so with other Departments. The challenge for us as a small team is to be effective. That is why it is fantastic Creative Ireland reports straight up to Martin Fraser and there is a senior officials group that involves the Secretaries General of all Departments. This is important when we need other Departments to help us. For example, next year we will be bringing in a number of initiatives in the area of mental health and the arts-----
