'If, in Northern Ireland, [arts] funding… had kept pace even with inflation, Arts Council of Northern Ireland's £14.1m budget from a decade ago would now stand at £20m. Instead, it is £9.7m.' Let's hope this, in Arts Professional, is just the opening salvo for more NI arts funding artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/artic…
