That is what is outlined in the written statement in front of the Minister. What is the representation of musicians and employees of each of the orchestras on the working and oversight groups? Either there are musicians from the orchestras on the working group or there are not. I acknowledge the Minister's comment to the effect that the membership of the working group may vary. If no musicians are on it, I ask her to vary that membership in order to include representatives of the artists and musicians as soon as possible. Their artistry has made the orchestras what they are. I ask the Minister to provide me with the names of those on the working groups in order that we can find out whether musicians are represented in this very important undertaking for the future of orchestral music in Ireland.
