Amharc ar fhreagra2819. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht her views on the recent comment by the chair of Galway 2020 that the event will tailor the programme to the private sector's needs; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33242/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 2815 and 2819 together.
The Board of Galway 2020 is comprised of an experienced team of individuals with a wide range of skill sets, chaired by Dr. Aideen McGinley. My Department is represented on the Board by Mr. Declan McGonagle.
I am confident that the Board will oversee the delivery of an exciting and ambitious programme for Galway as European Capital of Culture in 2020, as well as the creation of a strong and lasting legacy to benefit the city, county, region and country.
