I am a TD for Dublin South Central. I have been on this committee before and was previously chair of the Irish language committee, Comhchoiste na Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta agus Phobal Labhartha na Gaeilge. I look forward to being on this committee. We are in a very interesting era where there are huge challenges for society with regard to the media but also in the arts, art spaces and how we address art in our communities. The pilot basic income for the arts scheme will end in the coming months and we will have to address that issue. There are several reports to see how it can continue and in what format. There are also obvious challenges for arts organisations and artists themselves with regard to how they can sustain their art.
