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

Development of Local and Community Arts: Discussion

Ms Monika Sapielak:

From the perspective of individual artists, what I have heard so far is that it is a positive scheme. The majority of them have two or three jobs and the number of hours they need to work to support themselves is ridiculous. That would balance that aspect. From that perspective, it is definitely important but, as mentioned already, it has to be negotiated along with other supports that might be cut or withdrawn.
