I pay tribute to the work Senator Ó Murchú has done, with his wife, as director of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann and the immense contribution he has made to the traditional arts. During the past fortnight the Minister and I visited Brú Ború, which is a splendid facility. It is important, in terms of our cultural self-confidence, that the arts should have a solid base. That certainly does come from tradition; but it is tradition which is renewed, updated and modernised. If one reflects on the classical Anglo-Irish literature of the early 20th century, it would probably have been quite vapid without that relationship to the indigenous culture.
