Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My Department has a number of initiatives in the arts area in conjunction with the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. The initiatives cover music and other arts. I was very pleased to publish a research report showing the impact of bringing artists into the community and the quality of the engagement of young people with artists. The programmes embedding artists within schools are progressing and we will be expanding them.
