Question:28 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht if, in the context of the upcoming round of Structural Funds, he will be developing a new national capital programme for the arts.
Written Answers. - Capital Programme for the Arts.
It is certainly my objective that the next National Development Plan — which is intended to cover the six year period 1994 to 1999 and will outline in detail the use of the next round of Structural Funds — will include a particular focus on investment in the arts, culture and heritage areas. To this end, I have made a detailed submission to the Minister for Finance which recommends a coherent and integrated set of strategies covering these three areas — in addition, of course, to investment in the economic and social development of the Gaeltacht, which is already subject to Structural Funds assistance. My submission is currently under consideration by the Minister for Finance and by the Minister of State at his Department.

Tuigim ó Údarás na Gaeltachta go bhfuil ar intinn ag an gcomhlacht i gceist go ndéanfaí an mhonarcha phróiseála i gCarna a dódh le déanaí a atógáil agus go mbeifí sásta, san idirlinn, an gnó ón mhonarcha sin a thairiscint do chomhlachtaí próiseála eile Gaeltachta ar an tuiscint go dtabharfar an chéad rogha fostaíochta d'oibrithe Charna ar aon phoist bhreise is féidir a chruthófar sna comhlachtaí sin dá bharr.
