The following is a message from Visual Artists Ireland:
The current uncertainty caused by the early retirement of the Minister of Arts, Sport & Tourism is a cause for concern. We have looked for clarification and confirmation that there will be a replacement minister in place in the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle. We haven’t been able to get a definite response on that. ! !
For this reason we ask that you join us in making contact with your local government representative and ask that they lobby for the retention of an Arts minister at the Cabinet table.
We suggest that you personalise the following paragraph with details of the importance that you place on the role of having the arts represented in cabinet.
"In the forthcoming reshuffle, the government must show its commitment to the arts by the appointment of a Minister of Arts, Sport & Tourism to replace outgoing Minister Cullen"
You will find a list of Dail members here
We are keeping the message simple, and encourage you to add some personal lines as well.
Many thanks for your continued support of Visual Artists Ireland.
