Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion
2:00 am
Peter Cleere (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail)
What I have here is the Arts Council, the Department and the line Minister and nobody is taking responsibility. Nobody is taking accountability. Everyone is passing the buck from one to the next. That is what it looks like. The Irish Government gave €140 million to the Arts Council and this particular project is probably 5% or 6% of that annual budget. It is not acceptable. I need to move on because I have other questions to ask.
Ms Kennelly mentioned the legal side of things. Before I come to that, how many companies or contractors were involved in this particular IT project?
