The worrying part is that young people may feel disconnected from the whole European project and not realise the benefit that being part of Europe is for us. From what our guests are telling me - it is all news to me - there is significant opportunity in what...

Niamh Smyth: May I ask a question?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027: Discussion (11 May 2022)

Niamh Smyth: Creative Europe's programme for 2021 to 2027 was launched in May of last year.
