I will ask my questions for all three groups together to allow time to answer. Ms Traynor of SAOI referred to the recommendations made by Fair Plé relating to conditions for receiving funding. I ask Ms Kennelly to give her opinion on this and also to state whether the Arts Council would consider the introduction of these recommendations.

Could Ms Traynor confirm that SAOI was not offered a meeting with the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, and if so, what was the reason? What are the main barriers preventing SAOI from reaching its goals?

Which of the Irish Theatre Institute's recommendations are not being dealt with or implemented following the Speak Up: A Call for Change report? I know Ms Traynor said the Minister had taken some of them on board. Which of them I have not been dealt with that ought to be dealt with?
