Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera)

I have visited the James Joyce Centre in Dublin. I appreciate the role played by such centres engaged in artistic, cultural and literary activity in enhancing the quality of life of our citizens. The Deputy will appreciate that the question of the future role of the James Joyce Centre is a matter for the centre itself.
