Ms Maura McGrath:

Yes. I agree with the Deputy. The only feedback that I am aware of, which I am sure many people here are also aware of, relates to the frustration of many potential artists who are trying to make applications on a very difficult system. This has caused enormous difficulty for many artists around the country. I have heard that come through from my family, because they were in school and college with people, but nobody directly connected to us has ever been funded by the Arts Council and, unfortunately, I do not have anybody on the stage in the National Concert Hall either.
