Question 78: To ask the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism his views on the artists' tax exemption scheme; his further views on whether this plays a vital role in attracting artists into Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8514/09]

I believe the artist's exemption scheme continues to be of significant benefit to artists in Ireland. I consider this scheme offers an additional incentive to artists both to stay here and to come to Ireland. The scheme covers a wide spectrum of art forms and benefits a large number of artists the nature of whose work would not always attract substantial earnings.
