With regard to the composition of the council, section 11 refers to people "each of whom shall, in the opinion of the Minister, have a special interest or knowledge in relation to the arts or matters connected with the functions of the Minister or the Council under this Act". That is quite appropriate – people should have the relevant knowledge. However, I appeal to the Minister not to choose those who see themselves as sole custodians of any art, be it dance, film, painting or whatever. He should avoid the cocktail circuit to which Senator Ó Murcú referred. Such people should be kept as far away from the council as possible.
