Ms Elaine O'Connor:

I am not 100% sure. My experience over the past 15 years and particularly with the crash in 2019 indicates that events are always the first to go. That makes sense. Many community events receive discretionary funds from local authorities and one might assume that funding will be reduced significantly. It will put much pressure on. Additionally, as I mentioned, organisers will need to adjust how they do business and work with people outside organisations. There is considerable additional cost in delivering, planning and sustaining events.
