792. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she has met formally with the CEO of the National Concert Hall in the past two months; if so, the issues discussed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [53337/19]

As a general rule, my officials and I maintain active engagement on a range of issues with the Chairs and Directors (where appropriate) of the National Cultural Institutions under my aegis.

I have not met formally with the CEO of the National Concert Hall in the last two months.  My officials continue to engage on an ongoing basis with the CEO and officials of the National Concert Hall on a range of issues.
