"The irony is that while Ireland is a world leader in arts production, when it comes to private arts sponsorship we are Somalia."

Bernie, as ever, makes a lot of sense, particularly in relation to using ereaders for textbooks. As a parent of a child starting secondary school, making ePub versions of text books available would be an infinitily better idea than the recently axed government school book scheme. I would imagine that the €7 million (or whatever the figure is) would go some way towards making this a reality.
