Fidelma Healy Eames (Fine Gael)

I strongly support the promotion and practice of music and the arts, as it is critical to our culture and identity. However, is it proportionate at this time for the Government to give €3 million to Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, given the severe cuts in core education areas? I would like everyone to put their hands on their hearts and answer that question. I lived in Belgrave Square, Monkstown, and I benefited from the sessions. I am a supporter of music.
