Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:
I think there is something in what the Chair said. It is challenging for small organisations to carry out larger ICT projects. For example, we have helped to resource the Arts Council in terms of its ICT capabilities. However, if bodies are having a significant development for a short period of time, there is an issue of how the State looks at that. There are processes in place now. There are circulars and peer reviews and things that can be done but it is a challenge, particularly in the world of higher security, cybersecurity and AI.
