Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:
We are looking back at a period in 2017 when the country was coming out of significant recession. The director of the Arts Council mentioned it was under-resourced in terms of personnel. At that time we were a very small Department comprising culture, heritage and the Gaeltacht. We were under-resourced in terms of our ICT cohort.
