    I don’t look at it is taking care of the unemployed.

    Ireland has punched above its weight for centuries in producing cultural works. This is Ireland investing in its arts community directly by having its struggling artists be able to spend more time making art instead of other jobs.

    A thriving arts scene creates prestige for the country, provides amenities to the local population, and increases tourism.

      A lot of people who can’t be bothered to learn anything about viewing or creating art deeply resent people who can do art or people who do appreciate art. This whole post was to attack art and artists because OP and his alts are bitter trolls.
