Liz McManus
Question:575 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if her attention has been drawn to the fact that arts centres around the country such as the Courthouse Arts Centre in Tinahely, County Wicklow, are desperately in need of funding; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that the delay in the new Arts Plan 2002-2006 is seriously disrupting the Arts Council's commitments to client organisations; if the necessary legislation will be brought before Dáil Éireann as soon as possible; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
