It is a comprehensive report with a specific 15 recommendations that were highlighted. The Minister has addressed some of them but there are others which fall directly into the Minister’s bailiwick, such as identifying rural traditions that could be added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage. In particular, the Minister could put that out to public consultation and encourage people to feed into it so we would have more of our traditions, in particular rural traditions, on the UNESCO list of cultural heritage. The other recommendation is the proposal for national treasures in our cultural institutions to tour rural areas. I know that would be very welcome in areas that have institutions, halls or specific venues that are ideal for such tours. The arts and culture committee had a discussion a number of years ago with local museums but it has not progressed since.
