The message on supporting Irish writers and music is very important. Over the coming ten weeks, people will be looking around and the Christmas market will be very important. This year is unique with regard to the corporate scene. Traditional gifts to employees in the form of nights out, gatherings and events really will not be happening. Many corporate entities are looking at individual packages within the hospitality sector. This is very important for the sector and I encourage it. There may also be further scope to support our artists, not just within the corporate sector but across the board. There may be specific potential that could be examined further. This is something about which we could create more awareness. It would be a help.
