Ms Susan McKay:

Yes. For example, as Deputy Smyth has mentioned, Manorhamilton has the Glens Centre and the Leitrim Sculpture centre, and there are many individual artists living and working in the very beautiful region around there. One of the side effects of being an economic wilderness is that there is lots of unspoiled and beautiful countryside which artists have moved into. The marginalisation of the Border has been somewhat masked by the fact of all that international money going in there through the peace process. Once that is jeopardised by Brexit, governments on both sides of the Border, the Northern Irish Government, the British Government and the Irish Government are going to have to look at that and make up for it and recognise that it is an artistic area. The Tyrone Guthrie Centre is in that region. There are a range of arts centres along the Border which all co-operate with each other. Indeed, we are working on increasing that co-operation. It is a case that the governments are going to have to recognise that they will have to move in there and help. We are working on getting ideas on that. This weekend, Leitrim County Council and the Glens Centre are hosting an event in the Glens Centre for musicians and composers to talk about how to make a living out of one's work. Different musicians, including Lisa O'Neill from Deputy Smyth's county, Monaghan, will speak about how musicians can advance their careers in the very precarious world of being an artist.
