Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Arts Council (29 Sep 2022)

Gary Gannon: I accept fully that there has been massive strides made in terms of funding for arts and I also acknowledge that basic funding for arts has gone some way, but none of that will mean anything if we do not have a culture of mentorship.

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General: Financial Resolution (Resumed) (28 Sep 2022)

Gary Gannon: Once again we are here after a budget and those living in and on the edge of poverty have all but been forgotten.
