Covid-19 (Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-14
============================================================

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

I am sorry, Deputy. It was agreed at the Business Committee that we would focus on the arts here. We have four minutes only. The second speaker, with all due respect to the Deputy, raises some serious matters but it is not what we agreed. The second speaker in has spent four minutes talking about something totally separate. We probably have thousands of artists tuning in tonight who will be looking at this debate. Can we please stick to the rules here? We have a finite amount of time.
