QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he would congratulate the Arts Office on the success of the recent Sightless Cinema 2018 event held at the IMC Cinema Tallaght and in reporting will he also confirm plans to continue to fund this worthwhile project?"

REPLY:

"The Council was delighted with the outcome of the recent Sightless Cinema event. Six high quality and entertaining audio plays were created by members of the blind community in South Dublin County and presented to an audience of peers in IMC, Tallaght. The project was led by actor, playwright and director Ciaran Taylor. It was recorded in Contact Studio, South Dublin County Council's sound recording studio by Gerry Horan. The project is funded by South Dublin County Council and is a partnership project with the National Council for the Blind Ireland. The 2018/2019 project will commence again in the coming weeks with the presentation of new audio plays in September 2019."
