Tel: (01) 764685 An Chomhairle Ealaíon An Chomhairle Ealaíon/The Arts Council is an independent organization set up under the Arts Acts 1951 and 1973 to promote the arts. It operates through a wide-ranging programme of financial assistance and special services, offered to both individuals and organizations. The Council also acts as an adviser an artistic matters to the Government and Government Departments and is one of four bodies which have a statutory duty to make representations to planning authorities in connection with applications For planning permission in areas of special amenity throughout the country. The Council consists of a board of not more than seventeen members appointed by the Taoiseach. The present board was appointed in December 1978 and its term of office will expire in 1983. The board -meets about ten times a year to set Council policies and make decisions within the terms of the Arts Acts. These policies and decisions are implemented by a staff headed by a Director, appointed by the Council. The Council reports to the Oireachtas through the Taoiseach and its accounts are audited by the Auditor General. Annual grants from the Oireachtas are the Council's main source of income. These grants are supplemented by income from local authorities and private organizations and the Council also administers a number of trust funds, set up privately for specific purposes. The arts are defined in the Arts Acts and include: The Visual Arts (painting, sculpture, architecture, print-making, design); The Performing Arts (theatre, dance, music, opera); Literature; Film; Crafts. Chairman's Introduction Much of the Council's work and indeed much of this Report, is concerned with institutions and organisations involved with the promotion of the arts. In providing grants to these organisations the Council involves itself in a complex set of relationships which seeks to balance artistic freedom and financial accountability. The Council perceives its role as one of assessing the validity of the artistic objectives set by these organisations, measuring how the resources available are employed in the service of these objectives and ensuring that the funds available are efficiently and effectively utilised. This requires grant-aided organisations to keep the Council fully briefed on all artistic and financial questions so that to the best of all our abilities we can show that investment in the arts is value for money. Important as these organisations are they were not the main focus of the Council's deliberations during this year. The question of the individual artist was examined in considerable depth. Early in the year we published our survey on the Living and Working Conditions of Artists in Ireland. The information provided to the Council in this survey was not new but for the first time a statistical basis was available against which we could measure our own effectiveness as a Council in this regard. The bursary programme which has been developed over recent years has met with considerable success. However, the large volume of deserving applications which have had to be refused gave some indication of how limited a solution this programme was to meeting the needs of artists. A special scheme was introduced during the year to encourage new compositions by Irish composers and to ensure the public performance of these new works. A similar scheme has already been introduced in relation to assisting the commissioning of new books from Irish writers and publishers began to avail of this scheme during the year. In both these schemes the artist is chosen, not by the Council, but by the commissioning organisation. Ironically, the Council's traditional role as a patron of the visual arts presented difficulties in developing a similar scheme in relation to painting and sculpture. However, it is hoped that a scheme for commissioned works of art for public places will be introduced in the coming year. It is clear, however, on the basis of the information provided by the Survey that these schemes in themselves will not be sufficient to provide a framework within which writers, composers, painters and sculptors can concentrate on their artistic work without considerable financial deprivations. We have decided, therefore, to initiate a comprehensive proposal which will offer opportunities for the development of the creative artist in Ireland. James White, May, 1981 Post scriptum January 22nd 1982 The very late publication of this report is a matter of regret and concern. A number of factors have conspired in the delay not the least of which is the ever increasing workload which the Council's staff are required to undertake. The restriction on additional staff in the public sector makes it difficult to avoid such a delay and the Council may have to prepare future reports in a different format. Brian Friel's Translations Report The year was marked by a new confidence in the arts. The Cultural Relations Committee of the Department of Foreign Affairs funded the ambitious Sense of Ireland Festival which took place in London at the beginning of the year. The six week programme of artistic events was a reflection of the development in the arts which has been achieved by the Arts Council and those involved in the arts in recent years. The music, theatre, dance, visual art and literature presentations demonstrated a clarity of cultural identity and artistic purpose never before so strongly expressed. Some of the events in this major festival received generous private sponsorship. The Council has been anxious that the greatest possible encouragement should be given to private companies and individuals to support the arts and has been seeking a clarification of the terms of Section 547 of the Income Tax Act 1967 which provides for tax relief on "... a gift of money, which on or after the 6th day of April, 1965, is made to the Minister for Finance for use for any purposes for or towards the cost of which public moneys are provided and which is accepted by that Minister." A sponsor who was prepared to make a contribution of £10,000 to the Arts Council for the benefit of theatre activities was informed by the Department of Finance that such a donation would qualify for tax relief. On the basis of this precedent the Council' made representations to the Department for agreed procedures which would ensure tax relief for sponsors of the arts. The Council failed to get guidelines from the Department on the application of the section to donations of more than £500. However a gift of £5 for the promotion of opera subsequently qualified for tax relief. There is further provision for tax relief on donations which are covenanted over a period of years for the purposes of education or research in the natural sciences. The Council has submitted a proposal to the Department of the Taoiseach for the inclusion of "creative and performing arts" under this legislative heading The most significant piece of legislation affecting the arts in 1980 was the Film Board Act, which is discussed later in this Report (see page 00). This legislation is broad in its intention and scope and enables the Minister for Industry, Commerce and Tourism to establish a Board to "assist and encourage by any means it considers appropriate the making of films in the State and the development of an industry in the State for the making of films." However, as the Act also empowers the Minister to direct the Film Board on matters of policy the crucial test of the value of this legislation will be whether the Board will be able to initiate and implement a policy for film culture, or whether directions by the Minister will effectively limit the autonomy of the Board in this regard. The Act does provide for the first time a framework for the development of film making in Ireland, but the Council shares the apprehensions of Irish film makers about the dangers of an undue emphasis on studio-based foreign productions. The constitutional and procedural framework of organisations receiving grants from the Arts Council was considered by the Council during the year. It is important that publicly funded arts organisations, should have an overall structure which promotes the development of dynamic artistic programmes and utilises artistic and financial resources to the maximum benefit of the community.

It aims to investigate playwriting and theatre-making in the Republic of Ireland during the 1980s. Theatre’s response to failures of the Irish state, to the civil war in Northern Ireland, and to feminist and working-class concerns are explored in this thesis; it is as much an exploration of the 1980s as it is of plays and playwrights during the decade. As identified by a literature review, scholarly and critical attention during the 1980s was drawn towards Northern Ireland where playwrights were engaging directly with the conflict in Northern Ireland. This means that proportionally the work of many playwrights in the Republic remains unexamined and unpublished.

Our first Farrell play was performed by the company in 1996 entitled The Last Apache Reunion it tells the story of a group of 40 something lads and two of their wives who hold a reunion in their old school building now derelict. They show a home movie of their young selves at Powerscourt House and the consequences are dire, although side splittingly funny. This production was memorable for Clem Bell our esteemed Honorary Secretary being dangled out a window in his role of “little squirrel ”, and also the film which we made specially at Shaws Bridge where the actors real teenage children played their parents. This play went on to be runner up in the AUDF finals and so impressed the adjudicator that he directed a production of the play in his own group using our movie! In 1999 we did our second Farrell play applying to the author for permission and being given the honour of presenting the amateur premiere of Happy Birthday Dear Alice featuring Barbara Jeffers in the title role.

    Production Catalogue Production 1 Chair’s Note Chair’s Telling Irish stories on screen and supporting Irish creative talent telling these stories has always been a key focus of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB). Over the past year we have shown that these stories are enjoyed by audiences both at home and globally and have again proven what we believe to be the strength of Irish creative talent on screen. We are working on two major initiatives in 2016: the launch of a five year strategy for the IFB and a joint IFB/BAI Strategy on Training. We expect to publish both of these reports in the spring of 2016. They will then form the basis of future planning and development across the sector in the coming years. In 2015, the IFB acknowledged the underrepresentation of women in the Irish film industry. This is an issue which cannot be ignored. Actions are needed to address the gender inequality issue and the IFB is concerned enough to act and take a lead on this matter. We have outlined the measures we will be taking to address the problem and we are eager to implement them in 2016 and beyond. I took the role of Acting Chair of the IFB this year after the sudden passing of our esteemed Chairman Bill O’Herlihy. In his two years as Chairman of the IFB, Bill was a tireless advocate of the Irish film industry and his hands-on approach to the role was a clear indicator of his enthusiasm. We at the IFB were proud to call him a colleague and a friend and he is greatly missed.

THE PLAYWRIGHT AND THE ABBEY THEATRE II Benedict John Francombe Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,', Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Glasgow. May 1993. Abstract This thesis attempts to outline the practical relationship between Irish playwrights and the Abbey Theatre, from the early work of the Irish Literary Theatre in 1899, until the present day. It argues that the Abbey's reputation for being a writer's theatre tends to be contradicted by its distant association with Irish playwrights during the greater part of its history. Only during the early 1980swas there an active attempt to integrate the playwright within the company, creating a vibrant and active community for the development of new writing. Up until the 1980s the Abbey subscribedto the establishedtwentieth- century view that the playwright was a literary writer, outside the creative centre of theatre.
