The Arts Council comes under the remit of the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism. The Deputy's question should accordingly be addressed to the Minister responsible for that Department, Mr. John O'Donoghue, T.D.

The Health and Safety Authority is responsible for the enforcement of occupational health and safety standards and would be happy to provide information in that regard to the Deputy in relation to circuses.
