So the Department approved at a certain level.

It was mentioned earlier the Ms Kennelly is finishing up in June. It was incorrectly stated that the proposal was not put forward. A request was put in by the Arts Council for a five-year term and the Minister proposed a shorter term to Ms Kennelly which she did not agree to. Why did she not want to continue? Was there a difference in conditions or anything like that from the Department and the Minister?
