Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 October 2019
280. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if the funding application process for Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann is being reviewed; if the Arts Council will have a role in such changes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42415/19]
View answerThere are currently no plans to change the funding arrangements with respect to Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. Rather, in the recognition of the importance of all forms of the traditional arts, my Department will continue to explore with all stakeholders how best to strengthen, preserve and develop this sector across the island of Ireland and beyond.
