Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the position regarding her plans to introduce a basic income pilot for artists given the delayed tender to facilitate stakeholder engagement; if that stakeholder engagement has taken place to date; if not, when it will take place; and if she will direct the Arts Council to introduce a hardship fund in the meantime given that the basic income pilot is still being developed to ensure artists struggling to pay bills and repay mortgages as a result of the impact of pandemic restrictions on their work are adequately supported until such time as the industry can fully recover.
