Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Development of Local Community Arts: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I apologise for being late. I welcome all the guests. I come from Longford where Backstage Theatre has been the home of the arts in my county for 20 or 25 years. Since the theatre was built in a central location, it has contributed to an expansion of the arts through the local musical society. We have a fantastic variety group. I will do a 100 km in May as a fundraiser for the variety...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Development of Local Community Arts: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: There is a model in other Departments for similar associations. There are more than 100. It is administered through the ISA, in the same way as AIMS. It is eligible for grants only on production of receipts of actually putting on a show so it is completely transparent. However, many people are putting in so much time voluntarily spending months rehearsing and putting on these shows to...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Development of Local Community Arts: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: The point Mr. McGlynn made is something at which we are looking at home, trying to find a location. We have the Backstage Theatre and it is putting on shows and it is regularly full. However, organisations need to practice and so on, and that cannot be done on the same night as a show is on, where two organisations are looking for the same place. There is a scheme giving funding to each...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Development of Local Community Arts: Discussion (10 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I would like to get an update from the Department or the Arts Council on a scheme. The Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, has been extremely supportive of the arts. I know it is an area close to her own heart. That is why she is in that role. She has put significant Government investment into the arts. The basic income for the arts scheme is in its infancy, but what was the number of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I pay tribute to Senator Flynn on her comments here this morning. Congratulations to our colleague, Senator Lisa Chambers, and her husband, Jarleth Munnelly, on their recent nuptials. I remind Members of the autism training that I mentioned yesterday. The first session of the training will take place in the audiovisual room on Thursday next. I ask Members to log on and register to take...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I welcome two students and their teacher from my old school, St. Mel's in Longford. We have with us a couple of transition year students, Jamie and Joshua, and their teacher, Mr. Clyne. They are spending the day in Leinster House and getting a feel for some of the work that goes on behind the scenes here. I welcome them and wish them well in their studies. I got a great education at St....

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Developing Rural Tourism: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I apologise for being late as I was at other meetings. I welcome the witnesses, in particular Ms Carroll and Mr. Ó Lionáin, whom I met just last Friday in the Corlea centre at the launch of the just transition, which was mentioned. That is €68 million and, to be parochial, a significant amount of that investment is going to go into the counties that are most affected, even...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Developing Rural Tourism: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: With regard to funding, the Chair mentioned funding inflation on projects. I suppose this is a mixture of the Department and the Government. When Paul Kelly of Fáilte Ireland was here a number of weeks ago, I mentioned a specific project we are working on locally that secured funding some years ago, which is the Norman heritage village at the Knights and Conquests Heritage Centre close...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Developing Rural Tourism: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I have a few other points to make. In relation to tourism, I want to put on the record my compliments to Paddy Mathews and the whole team at Ireland's Hidden Heartlands. I do not want to start naming names because I will leave somebody out if I do. For us, as a tourism committee and a voluntary committee, in conjunction with the local authority, we have significant engagement with the...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Developing Rural Tourism: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: I welcome the witnesses here today. I apologise, as I was in and out. I had other business to attend to. The matter raised by Mr. McGinley is something that has never been brought to my attention. Could he send something to the committee, as it is a matter we could address? He has hit the nail on the head. It is an opportunity for us to bring tourists into the country, who can spend...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Developing Rural Tourism: Discussion (3 May 2023)

Micheál Carrigy: It is a pity the meetings were not the other way around, as we could have put that to Fáilte Ireland. I ask Mr. McGinley to send on more information to us. It is something we would be happy to pursue.
