Text
Minister, the fleadh was a fantastic success, with our thriving arts community bringing Belfast to life in a way that I certainly have never seen before in my lifetime. Minister, you have an opportunity to decide what legacy you want to leave for that sector. I know that you met the arts group Equity earlier today, and I can see that its representatives are watching from the Public Gallery. What practical steps are you taking now to ensure that the artists whom we will depend on for the 2027 fleadh will be able to remain in that sector, build sustainable careers and be supported for the contribution that they will make in 2027?
