Mr. Conor Falvey:

I will come back to Culture Ireland. The expert advisory committee is examining different mechanisms to showcase Irish artists overseas. There is pivoting towards digital presentation in terms of international festivals and making material available online. There are costs associated with that. Again, support for artists for a range of measures are under consideration.

There is no question but those in the Arts Council are burning the midnight oil in Merrion Square now to put the procedures in place and to get the application process operating. The key challenge is to get this additional funding to the people in the sector who require it.
