Praxis Union wrote to the original three presidential candidates about their support for the arts.
Only Catherine Connolly responded to us, and spoke loudly and clearly in favour of the BIA.
Connolly said: “Arts are essential to our culture here in Ireland – playwrights, painters, musicians & makers, the arts bring such richness, diversity and expression to our lives which must be invested in. A well-funded arts sector creates employment, fuels tourism, drives social cohesion, and improves mental health and wellness.”
Praxis is proud to endorse Catherine Connolly for President!
