231. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she will respond to matters raised in correspondence by an organisation (details supplied) in relation to community arts work; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33287/23]
View answerThere are capital schemes administered by my Department for arts and culture projects that provide capital funding aimed at enhancing and maintaining our arts and culture infrastructure. These include allocations for projects involving artist's studios and creative spaces, sustainable practices and disability access.
I understand that the organisation referred to by the Deputy is fund-raising to purchase property. Schemes of capital support operated by my Department do not include support for the acquisition of property.
