Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism (Mr. O’Donoghue)

The cultural relations committee, an independent voluntary body operating under the aegis of my Department, makes recommendations to me in respect of financial assistance for Irish artists who want to perform or show their work abroad. The organisation in question should, therefore, contact the secretary to the cultural relations committee, c/o the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, South Frederick Street, Dublin 2.
