Ms Mary Nash:

Many years ago, the Department had capital funding for arts centres. In 2006, we allocated a significant amount to the West Cork Arts Centre in Skibbereen, as well as to other centres throughout the country. That time is gone, however, and the money has moved into a different area. The good news is that there are two funding schemes from the Department of Community and Rural Affairs, namely, the rural regeneration and development fund, RRDF, and the urban regeneration and development fund, URDF. In Limerick, which is not far from the Deputy's constituency, Foynes museum has received a significant sum under the scheme, as has Poetry Ireland in Dublin. That is where one could go for a lot of money. A theatre is being built in Ballymote.
