View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 146 together.
The Arts Council provides the annual operating grant to the Abbey Theatre. I have no role in the day to day management and operation of the Abbey Theatre. These are matters for the Board and management of the organisation. The Abbey Theatre's website – www.abbeytheatre.ie. contains details of its outreach and education initiatives.
