Nine Deputies are offering and with their co-operation, we will get to them all.

The move back to level 3 restrictions has been welcome for many businesses and I encourage the public to shop local as we approach Christmas. I have received several phone calls about the lack of guidance over stage schools in level 3. Some gymnastics clubs and drama classes state that they can open, but it looks like they are using the previous level 3 guidelines. The new guidelines state clearly that no organised indoor gathering should take place and that for outdoor sports, it is individual training only. This means, for example, no dance classes, ballet, gymnastics, basketball, racquetball, squash, Zumba or drama. Gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools can open for individual use only. This does not include other leisure facilities.

This is very frustrating for schools that have essentially remained closed since March. It is frustrating when their teachers are being asked to go to school to teach dancing, which is absolutely wrong when the same children cannot attend their weekly dance and drama classes. I ask for clear guidance on this because there has been considerable confusion about level 3. Even though we are glad to have the shops open, it is important.

Last week in response to my Topical Issue matter on dancing, the Minister confirmed that the Arts Council would publish new guidelines this week. Today the Arts Council has advised community centres, which require the guidelines for insurance reasons to allow one-to-one dance practice to continue, that they will not have those guidelines for a number of weeks. The Arts Council has cited approval from the Taoiseach's office as a reason for the delay.

It is imperative that we get this confusion cleared up and have the Arts Council guidelines published in the next week. Until then, the Minister has confirmed that the Sport Ireland guidelines are applicable, but it would be helpful if we could get the guidelines published.

I thank the Deputies for raising this issue. As I understand it, individual and one-to-one training is allowed indoors, but not groups or classes. I will, however, get that double-checked with the Department of the Taoiseach and confirm it with the Deputies as soon as possible.
