The artists' tax exemption scheme has made, and continues to make, a significant contribution to the success of the arts in Ireland and the recognition abroad of Ireland as a country which fosters and cherishes its artists. I have made known my views in this regard to my colleague, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Cowen, and officials of my Department are in ongoing contact with the Department of Finance in this regard.
