“It Is Not My Job” To Drum Up Cash For Ulster Orchestra, Says Northern Ireland Arts Minister

Carál Ni Chuilín is sympathetic to the “scary” (her word) financial position the orchestra is in. But, in response to a question from a legislator about seeking local funding outside Belfast, she said, “It is not my job to go round all the local councils on behalf of the orchestra to drum up support, pardon the pun; it is the orchestra’s job.”
