Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 October 2018
652. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will seek the funding to provide a theatre (details supplied) with the necessary funding in order that it can continue to operate; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37273/18]
View answerMy Department provides support for capital investment in cultural and arts facilities nationwide. I understand that no application for capital funding has been received from the facility referred to in the question. The question of current funding for cultural facilities would be a matter for the Arts Council or the local authority.
I understand that the organisation to which the Deputy refers will continue its performances through touring while its own premises is to be sold.
