Ms Katherine Licken:

Yes, we did a review following Limerick city of culture in 2014, and this is the first year under European capitals of culture that the European capitals of culture are required by the European Commission to do a review. The Audience Agency has been recruited by Galway 2020 to do a review of the programme and lessons will learned from that, as well as from the rolling series of lessons learned kept by the Commission.

I might ask Mr. Falvey to come in on this in a moment. An awful lot of good things happened in the past year and we need to give credit to the artists, Galway 2020 and all the partners and volunteers. A lot of good things happened but they just were not as visible. We would be having a very different conversation if Covid had not happened because those things would have been more visible. Mr. Falvey might talk to some of the projects and how truly spectacular they were, even if some of them went under the radar.
