Liam Lawlor
Ceist:111 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht his views on the merits of taking responsibility for the National Symphony Orchestra from RTÉ and placing it within the remit of the National Concert Hall and its administrators with appropriate transfer of funding; his views on whether this would assist in improved financial management and use of resources for both the NSO and NCH; his further views on whether this could better rationalise the position of the NSO in relation to its cultural responsibilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
