The Arts Council has presented me with a copy of this report and I have studied its contents. I am currently considering the proposals further and will be discussing them with my colleague, the Minister for Education and Science, and with the Arts Council in due course.

In the meantime, my officials have already had bilateral discussions with the Department of Education and Science and the Arts Council and all three parties are due to meet in the New Year to discuss the report in further detail.

The timing of publication of the report will be considered when this process is complete.
