Vol. 134 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Expenditure by Arts Council.

asked the Taoiseach if he will state (a) the amount of expenditure out of funds provided for the Arts Council in the current financial year; (b) the objects of such expenditure; and (c) the principal objects of the proposed expenditure in the current financial year.

Out of the Estimate provision of £10,000, payments totalling £5,000 have to date been made to An Chomhairle Ealaíon on foot of the grant payable to them in respect of the current financial year.

I have no information regarding the amount or object of the actual disbursements that have been made by the council out of the grant. Such information will, no doubt, be furnished in due course in their annual accounts and report, which, in accordance with Sections 6 and 7 of the Arts Act, 1951, will be laid before the Dáil after they have been received by the Government.
