Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Paul McAuliffe: Let me put the question more clearly. The Arts Council was expected to make payments under the contract. What were the milestones? What were the things that triggered payments?

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Paul McAuliffe: The milestones were more based on the work they completed in terms of their work as opposed to the delivery of products.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Paul McAuliffe: My broader point is this: everybody has had a painter in their house who takes too long, but you do not pay the painter for the number of days they are there; you pay the painter for painting the room. It is a simple example but surely the amount of time they spent on the project was not the only criterion.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Paul McAuliffe: I do not want to drift too much into the legal argument because there is a case before us. I would presume that the legal case is that the specific purpose of the contract was not delivered. It is difficult for the witnesses to articulate this morning what steps should have been completed and what was not completed.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Paul McAuliffe: I understand the point that Mr. Anyanwu is making. I am also comparing it with the increase in staff which took place in the organisation, with an additional 43 staff in the Arts Council. Surely in the case of a project of this scale - €3 million, which is a huge amount of money - in-house expertise should have been identified far earlier.

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) Paul McAuliffe: That seems breathtaking. Would the Arts Council allow grant funding to be given to a project, for example, if it was intended to put on a play in a theatre without having a director?
