I will be quick. I congratulate the Minister on securing this scheme. It is vital. We know the level of creativity across the arts sector. Anything we can do to support and nurture that is to be welcomed.

I note that the Government has agreed a new public holiday on St. Brigid's Day, which will give us a great opportunity to celebrate creativity and entertainment across the country as we emerge from winter.
