Dr. Rachel Holstead:

We are getting regular feedback from the 20 to 25 festivals that we fund, many of which are in quite high-profile tourism areas. They are experiencing significant difficulties accessing accommodation for their guest artists, as well as for attendees, whether Irish or international, and when they can access accommodation, it is significantly more expensive, so it is coming back to that cost base issue. It is a very real issue. It is potentially limiting the activity of festivals and limiting the accessibility of great festival activity to local communities, so I am delighted it is being raised in that context.
