Catherine Noone (Fine Gael)

I am interested to hear the Minister's views. He is quoted as saying that he would expect proposals to go to Cabinet in the next two weeks. I am sure that people working in the arts sector would be happy to linger a little longer to ensure that matters are considered and that the proper decision is made. I commend the Minister for his leadership and his initiative on the commemorations. As he said, it has been an impressive start and I thank him for sharing his thoughts with us today.
