Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Development of Local Community Arts: Discussion

Ms Siubh?n Nic Grianna:

I will refer to Dr. Holstead on the issue of accommodation, in particular in regard to local festivals. To go back to the point on access and youth, I commend the Department on the investment and on the provision of a funding programme to Ealaín na Gaeltachta for the past three years to support access for young people to youth theatre, music and amhránaíocht and singing as well. That support has been fantastic. It is a brilliant model and is something that could be looked at and rolled out. Our focus is obviously Irish language-based arts, but it would be a very good model to look at. I will hand over to Ms Holstead.
