Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Development of Local Community Arts: Discussion
Ms Tania Banotti:
It is lovely to see the Deputy. He will be delighted to hear that, on 21 June, Dublin City Council will hold a major event in the docklands for all his constituents, new and old. It will bring together the two communities in the docklands, namely, the newer and wealthier residents and those living in social housing. We hope the Deputy has received his invitation. There will be 600 events for children throughout Ireland on Saturday, 10 June, for Cruinniú na nÓg. Ireland is the only country to have a national day that celebrates the creativity of children and young people. Those events will take place throughout Ireland, including in Ringsend, and we encourage young people to come along. I appreciate they are not summer camps. The representatives of the Arts Council may wish to address that question.
