Some of the highlights of the year were the production of a major study into better means of serving artists’ needs, the roll-out of new medium-term funding structures, and the strides we made towards transforming our operations as a development agency.

This report has changed in style too, reflecting the desire to communicate more effectively with 04 a broad audience. It describes the work of the Arts Council during 2000 in achieving our three fundamental objectives: to promote artistic excellence and innovation, to develop participation in and audiences for the arts, and to build capacity in the arts sector.

Armed for the first time in our history with a Ministerial commitment to three-year funding, we developed a new multi-annual basis for funding based on artistic service agreements that would enable us to direct our funds more accurately towards stated priorities, and provide a more secure planning environment for the arts in Ireland.

NOTE 9: PREMISES The Council occupies premises at 69 and 70 Merrion Square, Dublin 2, under leases which expire in 2016 and 2014 respectively. The annualised rent at 31st December 2000 was £145,531/€184,786 (1999: £145,452/€184,686). This is subject to review every five years. The next reviews fall due in 2001 and 2004.

62 NOTE 10: FUTURE COMMITMENTS At 31 December the Council had entered into commitments in connection with activities due to take place after that date. The amount involved, £35m(€44m), is not reflected in these financial statements.

NOTE 11: SUPERANNUATION SCHEMES (a) A Staff Superannuation Scheme under the Arts Act, 1973, Section 10, is in operation. Benefits are defined and the scheme provides for equal contributions to be made by Council and staff. The assets of the Scheme comprise a combination of an insured fund and a managed fund. Irish Pensions Trust Ltd act as independent corporate trustees and the manager is Irish Life Assurance plc. Actuarial reviews are carried out every three years. The last review, carried out as at 1 January 1998, showed that, while the assets were more than sufficient to cover accrued liabilities based on current salary levels, they were not sufficient to cover accrued liabilities in respect of service taking into account projected future salary increases. In view of this, the Actuary strongly recommended a funding increase. A provision at current premium rates is maintained in respect of the extra liability arising out of future salary adjustments but moneys have not been paid to the fund to meet this liability. At 31 December 2000 the provision was £212,404/€269,698 (1999: £216,870/€275,368). The next actuarial review will be undertaken as at 1 January 2001. Total staff superannuation costs charged to the Income and Expenditure Account for the current year are £69,256/€87,937 (1999: £62,050/€78,787).

(b) A Superannuation Scheme is in operation for members of Aosdána on the basis of insured annuity contracts and defined contributions. The cost of the annual premiums is shared equally by the Council and the members. The charge to the Income and Expenditure Account for the current year is £34,700/€44,060 (1999: £38,836/€49,312).
