Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the action he is taking to ensure the arts sector in Northern Ireland has the funds to enable it to play a full part in UK arts exports.

Answer:

I continue to make the case for increased funding for this important sector. It is my intention to provide a paper to the Executive showing the impact of the arts in our society to support that case. I have also raised funding for the Arts directly in bilaterals and in writing with the Finance Minister.
