Section 21 is perhaps the main area of the Bill which requires changes from the original Bill as published. Many in the traditional sector have a strong sense that their sector has been treated less well than it deserves and arguments were advanced for either a new and separate traditional arts council or the ring fencing of a substantial portion of the Arts Council's funds for traditional arts. The Bill as published reflected an effort to strike an acceptable balance by requiring the Arts Council to establish a standing committee on the traditional arts, which would make recommendations to the council in relation to the advance of moneys to those involved in the traditional arts.
