Eric J. Byrne
Ceist:83 Mr. Byrne asked the Minister for Social Welfare whether, in view of the tenuous prospect of securing a living for artists who work full-time at their craft and who have financial outgoings for their materials and equipment, he will allow all registered full-time artists with his Department to receive unemployment assistance, as a right, in order for these artists to be facilitated in developing their art; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
