Ms Maureen Kennelly:

Ms O'Reilly will follow me, but we want to diversify the participation hugely. That is the programme where we are seeing the most diverse participation with respect to both artists and participants and audience, so that is our key focus with it. It is an easier gateway for people to encounter the arts, without a doubt. That is because of the easy accessibility and the connection to one's local place. We all know how proud we are of our home places. That I can go down to Kells and experience so many good things on one night for free is an extraordinary boon for a community.
