I compliment the Government on its work in this area. This Bill follows on from provisions in the Arts Act, with which Senator Ó Murchú is very familiar, in particular the Minister's commitment to establish a focus on the traditional arts, by ensuring that traditional Irish music and culture is properly funded through the Arts Council. It shows that the Government recognises that our culture, heritage, traditional music and practices should be recorded. It is important to record the change in our culture. Many practices, including farming practices, that would have been part of rural Ireland have now changed dramatically and will change again in coming years, particularly in the light of developments in Europe. At this time of change it is important to record those practices in television and radio programmes.
