Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion

Okay. I have two final questions. Going back to the Department, the Minister has stated that he is considering a review of governance and culture. What would that look like? Will we see the terms of reference of that? How is the "arm's length" principle enshrined in the Arts Act 2003 to be protected in light of the Minister's refusal to allow a recommendation from the board of the Arts Council for an extension of the director's contract? I am not talking about a full renewal but an acceptable extension until Professor Niamh Brennan's review is completed.
