Arts industry payment scheme
Senator Eugene Murphy asked about the arts, and the Leader said she would seek the Minister's attendance to discuss the new pilot scheme for a universal payment to arts workers. The Cathaoirleach then confirmed that No. 1 would proceed today and that a debate on technological universities would be arranged next week.
May I ask the Leader about the arts.

I will ask them to come in and speak on the new pilot scheme for the universal payment to people in the arts industry. It would give the Minister a good opportunity to share her plans with us. I will write today.
