Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

I ask the Minister to make inquiries and speak to his officials because there is a marvellous opportunity now for this type of development. Many international artists perform in the National Concert Hall. It would provide an opportunity for the artists and students to interact. The students would have the opportunity to perform on a regular basis in the new spaces to be created in the concert hall. This would be a unique opportunity to do something very special for music in this country.
