Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I have not received the mid-term review of Partnership for the Arts as it has not yet been completed. The formal mid-term review of the strategy has been under way since January 2008. It is centred on Partnership for the Arts: In Practice 2006 — 2008, the strategy document guiding current Arts Council policy and provision. The outcomes of the mid-term review will be considered by the Arts Council in June and will inform policy and provision for the second period of the strategy from 2009 to 2010. Once the review has been completed the Arts Council will formally submit it to the Department and I look forward to receiving it and discussing it with the Arts Council.
