Michael Kitt (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister for the support his Department has provided for arts festivals and programmes in Galway, specifically the Galway Film Fleadh and Galway Arts Festival, the launch of which he attended last Monday. I also commend Galway county and city councils and the Western Development Commission on the support they have provided. I refer, in particular, to the Galway picture palace project, which I have discussed previously with the Minister. I hope the project will secure funding from the Department and the other bodies to which I referred because it would add to the cultural and artistic life of the city and county.
