What a ridiculous title, “Cultural & creative industries”. Arts such as literature are not “industries”. The bottom line is that literature doesn’t have a bottom line. The writer and artist is not an industry. Literature, for instance, is created by the writer. Full stop. Other people try to make money out of the work of the artist or writer, publishers, gallery owners, so-called arts managers. The gombeen attitude of money-making tries to impose its will on the artist & writer. Any artist or writer worth his or her salt ignores these philistines. Our gombeen politicians believe that “Ireland is a brand”. These are the same idiots who have wrecked the economy and bankrupted the country. Forget your “industry”. Support the creative writer and artist. The rest is rubbish.

I’m doing something similar and have made some progress. Maybe we can meet to see if we can pull together to create a stronger solution? My e-mail is mh@axiomdesign.ie
