Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: Tourism, Arts and Entertainment Sector
Ms Katherine Licken:
I thank the Deputy. While the Department has not been traditionally directly linked with those organisations, we have now linked in with them. We met them last week and are engaging with them constantly on precisely the issues the Deputy has mentioned. We recognise they are a key part of the cultural and heritage infrastructure of the country. Ordinarily, these companies are making money and doing good things. They would not normally have recourse to the Department but we now we are engaging intensively with them. We have proposals from them. We are working through these proposals and hope to come back pretty quickly on that. Does Mr. Falvey want to elaborate?
