Ms Maureen Kennelly:
To go back to the resourcing of it, a report given to the Arts Council in 2018 recommended a particular resourcing structure. Unfortunately, only 55% of that was in place when the project started. When I started in the Arts Council in mid-April 2020, there was no head of HR and there was not even a head of IT. Therefore, the project started on very shaky ground.
