It is breathing life into our towns and villages, which is a positive....

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Further Revised) (14 Jul 2021) Catherine Martin: Arts Council funding has made a significant difference in helping to sustain artists and organisations.

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Further Revised) (14 Jul 2021) Catherine Martin: Work is ongoing on the transfer of the orchestra.

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Further Revised) (14 Jul 2021) Catherine Martin: At the moment, these pilot events are essential as part of the roadmap to full reopening.

Even that was about the logistics of entry and exit, managing social distancing and how we are living with Covid. Things started at that basic level. As the Chair can see, things are moving further...
