219 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism his plans to restore the principle of true multi-annual funding to arts organisations rather than continuing with the reversion back to annual funding. [29175/03]
The funding of arts organisations is the responsibility of the Arts Council. It is for the council to decide on what basis this is to be done, taking full account of the financial resources available to it and the fact that our Estimates system is based on an annual cycle.
