Responsibility for the promotion of the arts at all levels throughout the country is primarily devolved to the Arts Council. State support for the arts is mainly channelled through the Arts Council, which, although funded by my department, is completely autonomous in its funding decisions. I have forwarded the Deputy's enquiry to the Arts Council for consideration and direct reply.
