Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 March 2006
124 Mr. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance his views on the case made by the Arts Council that artists’ relief should apply to dance compositions and screen direction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8575/06]
View answerI have no current plans to change the scheme in the way suggested, having just reviewed it. As regards the areas mentioned, there are already very significant supports for the arts and film industries through the tax and public expenditure systems. I believe that demands for changes in any scheme should take account of the overall context.
