I propose to take Questions Nos. 31 and 40 together.

Creative Schools is a flagship initiative of the Creative Youth Plan and Pillar 1 of the Creative Ireland Programme. The initiative is led by the Arts Council in partnership with my Department and the Department of Education and Skills.

This pilot initiative aims to develop and celebrate the arts and creativity in our schools. Last week, 150 schools across the country were chosen to participate in this initiative. These schools were chosen from over 400 applicants and include primary schools, secondary schools, Youth-reach centres, special schools, DEIS schools, co-educational schools, rural, urban, single-sex and Irish language medium schools. Work will begin in September 2018 and run through to the end of the school year in 2019. Details of all the chosen schools can be found on the Creative Ireland website and the Arts Council website.
