Council may pay £5k a year to liberateart and get it on public display here

Derry City and Strabane District Council's Business and Culture Committee on Tuesday recommended contributing £5,000 a year to the civil service's art collection.

The idea is to liberate the collection from Stormont storage and make it more widely available in public buildings across the city.

The Committee agreed to make the contribution after an Art Advisory Panel, established by Finance Minister, Máirtín Ó Muilleoir last September, asked for support.
