Texte : Following the proposed budget announcement made on Monday 11th January by the Finance Minister of a £367 million budget cut across the government departments in April 2010, the Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, Nelson McCausland, has indicated that the Arts Council should plan for a budget cut of approximately £1.1 million in 2010/11.*
