Sir, – Four weeks into 2014, I understand Limerick City of Culture 2014 has not yet received the €6.2 million promised in the October budget from the Department of Finance. Many artistic events, culture and community projects and festivals now seem in jeopardy as it appears finance is not available to initiate pre-production or confirm artists’ contracts.
Nor has the board announced recruitment to fill the positions left vacant in management and the artistic team. Why? – Yours, etc,
KATIE VERLING,
Mayorstone,
Limerick.
