Will the Taoiseach ask the Minister for culture, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, to liaise urgently with the Minister for Finance, Deputy Jack Chambers, to ensure funding can be secured to ensure one of the most versatile and much-needed arts centres in Dublin can be saved from eviction? Government engagement on this matter - saving the Complex - before the notice to quit expires on 14 January could allow moneys from the north inner city task force and Dublin City Council to be leveraged and released so that the vibrant and unique arts studio, jazz rehearsal space, the Cooler, and drama and theatre venue in the city centre can survive and thrive, as there are new studios and arts spaces planned for this centre. The loss of the Complex would be a hammer-blow to arts in the city, which, over the years, have seen many other venues closed and never reopened or replaced.
