Ms Mary Nash:

I recently met Sheila Pratschke, the chair of the West Cork Chamber Music Festival in Bantry, and we discussed ways of going about that. There are ways of doing it but they are slow and ponderous. I have been in this job for a long time. I have seen people seeking funding for projects. It seems like it is going nowhere but then, through the course of four or five years they find ways through and, in the end, get what they are looking for. I know that is not very hopeful.
