The Laureate for Irish Fiction 2018–2021 is Sebastian Barry and the Laureate na nÓg 2016-2018 is PJ Lynch. These honoraria are a matter for the Arts Council which under the Arts Act 2003 is statutorily independent in relation to its funding and executive decisions. I have no function in the selection of or awards in this matter.
