The Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan, T.D said: It is important to support local cultural events and activities as all culture, in essence, starts locally with the people and is reinforced and developed through the community. This is especially important at the present time where many people may be feeling isolated and alone.
