The reality is the chair of the Arts Council has a job to do now. I met her in the last fortnight, along with the senior officials in my Department. There is the matter of morale in the Arts Council and the arts community too, which has undoubtedly been badly impacted by these events. We are going to try to use the summer, as much as we can, to reinvigorate morale and show the arts community its relationship with the Government and the €141 million is not in any way going to be impacted by this situation.
