271 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he has plans to provide multi-annual funding for the arts. [30209/04]
View answerThe allocation of funding on a multi-annual basis is not compatible with the existing Estimates system, which operates on an annual cycle. It is, therefore, not possible to provide funding on the basis suggested by the Deputy.
