Recently, I put together a group of people, some of whom are the top people in the arts in the city, and they have drawn up a good proposal on philanthropy. The group was set up four months ago under John McGrane of Ulster Bank, which is a great sponsor of the arts. It is important to recognise that. Sometimes people are happy to be invited into the photographs when they go to an event, but they forget about the sponsor. We should remember that the sponsor is the most important person because they are paying, whether it is the Department, a bank or whoever.
