Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

We know the director of the Arts Council is no longer in place. In relation to the Department's role, which was an oversight role, more needed to be done, and we have said that. Our opening statement referred to our failures regarding our oversight role. We should have stepped in earlier.
