PETITION TO REINSTATE ARTS COUNCIL
FUNDING TO WESTERN WRITERS' CENTRE

The Arts Council of the Republic of Ireland have removed all funding
from the Western Writers' Centre, Ionad Scríbhneoirí Chaitlín Maude.

http://www.twwc.ie/

The Centre has been in operation as the only Writers' Centre west of
the Shannon for almost seven years and has provided workshops,
readings, a website, and a newsletter, "The Word Tree."

They were the first to organise a writers' residence to a Galway
hospital.  They also run an annual festival, "The Forge at Gort."

Their commitment to the Irish language and Irish language writers has
also been a foremost feature of their working policy.

The Arts Council grant of €10,000 enabled them to plan forward, to
develop this Centre.

REINSTATEMENT of Arts Council Funding!  You will find the petition at
