Mr. Pádraig Naughton:

In terms of the work done by Arts and Disability Ireland and most organisations such as ours, we support all 11 arts forms that the Arts Council funds and that are identified in the Arts Act. This includes dance and movement. It is a smaller proportion within the arts and disability connect programme. Visual arts account for more than 50% of successful applications. Dance is at a much smaller number. One of the projects in which we are involved that will come to fruition in 2023 is to commission an artist with a disability to develop a piece of new dance for children and young people in collaboration with the Ark and Dublin Dance Festival. It will be a sizeable commission and I am really excited about it.
