The additional €5 million allocated by the Minister for Culture 2025 is welcome and I wish to acknowledge that. Can she confirm whether there is a separate mechanism for arts funding? Will the initiative conclude in 2017? Can the Minister explain the criteria for allocating funds to artists or arts organisations and how they might apply?
