I propose to take Questions Nos. 217 and 218 together.

As Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, along with having responsibility for policy within the Arts, I allocate funding to the Arts Council who have primary responsibility for the development of the arts in Ireland under the Arts Act 2003.

Regarding these specific questions in relation to re-opening of bursary awards in 2023, I have referred your question to the Arts Council for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
