Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2009
254 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism his policy towards the promotion of the arts at local level directly or through intermediary bodies under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32580/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my answers in this House previously to this question and in particular to the policy as outlined in replies to Questions 2407/09; 2680/09 and 2682/09 answered together on 28 January 2009; Question 16413/09 of 28th April 2009 and Question 23816 of 16th June 2009 last. The Deputy may be assured that if there are major policy changes in this regard that they will be well signalled. In the meantime, I will continue to work to maximise public investment in arts, culture and the creative sectors.
