- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: 2. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in light of the basic income for artists initial report, if she will commit now to including a full roll-out of this scheme for all artists in budget 2025; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17256/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The basic income for artists was introduced at the end of 2022 after a great deal of campaigning by the arts sector. To date, it has led to significant improvements in the well-being and mental health of artists, a reduction in the amount of time they have to work in other jobs, an increase in the amount of time they work at their arts practice and some improvements in people's incomes and...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Catherine Martin: The basic income for the arts is a once-in-a-generation policy intervention that has the potential to transform the lives of artists. The scheme is part of a suite of measures I have introduced to support professional arts practice, including record funding of €134 million for the Arts Council, increased funding for Screen Ireland, the highest level of funding for Culture Ireland...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Before the pilot scheme, 72% of respondents to a survey earned less than the national hourly average and 16% earned less than the minimum wage. The reality for most people working in the arts is precariousness, a lack of employment and income security, being forced out of the arts because they cannot sustain themselves, and high levels of deprivation and stress due to their precarious...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Catherine Martin: It would be good to have artists' spokespeople attend such a conference, given how they speak for artists and various parties. I am happy to extend an invitation to them and give them the details of the conference's date in May, its format and its agenda. I assure the Deputy that, as the Minister who introduced this support, I am aware of the pilot scheme's benefits. It is a three-year...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: There was a promise a number of years ago by, I believe, the then Taoiseach, Deputy Varadkar, who was under pressure from the campaigning by the arts sector, that arts spending would be doubled. I doubt that has happened. Maybe the Minister could comment on this. Our percentage of GDP spent on arts is significantly less than the European average, so we have a long way to go even if there...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Artists' Remuneration (18 Apr 2024)
Catherine Martin: If I have all of the research, it will help to form a stronger case for my argument to extend the scheme. I am trying to do what is best for the artist community. Regarding investment in the arts, while there is always more to be done, funding for the culture programme in my Department in the four years since I became Minister has grown by over 90%, funding for the Arts Council has grown...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Culture Policy (18 Apr 2024)
Catherine Martin: The Deputy will appreciate that the development of city quarters, such as the one outlined by him, is primarily a matter for Dublin City Council as the relevant local authority under the Planning and Development Act 2000. However, my Department is investing significantly in the city's cultural infrastructure through our national cultural institutions, including the Abbey Theatre. The record...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle agus comhghairdeas don Aire Stáit as an ardú céime atá faighte aige. Tá post mór tábhachtach aige anois ó thaobh na Gaeilge de. Ní ag dul ar thaobh atá sé. Is ardú céime é i mo thuairim féin. Is ceist í seo a cuireadh isteach sular tharla an t-athrú...
