Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

Yes, I will raise this matter. I am aware that forbearance measures are being made available to the arts sector, but I did think that they were being made available in a manner that was typical of what happened with motor insurance earlier in the year. My understanding is that this was not being done through a common forbearance decision, but that it was being dealt with on a business-by-business basis. I understood more progress was being made than Deputy Nash has indicated. On the back of the Deputy raising this matter with me, the Minister of State, Deputy Fleming, and I will raise this matter again with Insurance Ireland. It would be great to see our music venues and theatres being in a position to reopen in the way they operated in the past.
