Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Grace Boland: The project itself dates back to 2017, so Covid cannot be blamed for everything. It was very clear early on that it was not working. I cannot understand how we got to 2024 before it was definitively pulled. I would like Ms Kennelly to respond to this.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Grace Boland: To be fair, I do not think the Arts Council gave the right instructions. It is clear that there was no proper life-cycle management of this project. There were no clear key performance indicators, KPIs, or service level agreements, SLAs. That is obvious from what I have read.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Grace Boland: It would be important for the Department to make it clear that no projects should proceed unless there is a fully resourced project board. Should that not be in place already? If it is not, it should most definitely be.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Grace Boland: Unfortunately, that did not happen. I want to move on to the governance process of the Arts Council. Ms McGrath has said she is also the chair of the National Concert Hall, which is a fantastic organisation. It occurs to me that the National Concert Hall was probably also in receipt of funds from the Arts Council. How does she deal with conflicts and is any other member of the board also...

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Grace Boland: Is it the same for the rest of the board members, that there is no conflict of interest? None of the board members' relatives have ever received funding from the Arts Council and no conflicts of interest have ever had to be declared. Is that the case?

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Grace Boland: On the business case for this, we keep hearing that it was to integrate five different systems. Was it clear in a cost-benefit analysis that there was going to be, or if we implement a new one that there will be, a cost saving to the State?
