The main reason I wanted to contribute to this debate – I referred to the magnificent facility in Cashel, which is available to arts groups all the year round – was to comment on the steady regionalisation of the arts in recent years. Any town of a substantial size wants to have its own performance facilities for local groups, visiting groups, etc. Many of them have to struggle. I am sure that the experience in my county is replicated in every other county. The people of Tipperary town went to immense efforts to build an up-to-date theatre/cinema with the café facilities of the kind that were referred to earlier. People in Carrick-on-Suir want to rebuild the Strand theatre. Every town of a significant size wants to have such facilities. In a time of more limited resources, we could consolidate those facilities and put them on a firm footing because they provide an immense service to communities.
