Question:

325 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the disciplines of the national academy for the performing arts she will base in Waterford (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26653/99]

Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera)

The structure, function and operations of the proposed Irish Academy for the Performing Arts are still under consideration and accordingly the Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate to discuss any such details at this stage.
