Mr. John McKeon:
The Arts Council has a schedule of professions that it believes to be artistic professions, and as long as the person is engaged in the profession, we will allow them access to the scheme. Until now, a total of 114 people have availed of the scheme and there are 67 people currently on it. Generally, we expect it will increase next year to approximately 300.
