Amharc ar fhreagraThe strategic objective of the Culture and Arts Division of my Department is to support and develop engagement with, and in arts, culture and creativity by individuals. In this regard, the Department supports bodies such as Arts Council, Screen Ireland, the National Cultural Institutions, Culture Ireland and Creative Ireland and a range of other arts and culture organisations. At present, there are no funding streams in the Department for the international research project outlined by the Deputy. However, if the Deputy wishes to make contact with my office, my officials are available to offer any advice that may be available as to potential next steps.
