New chair for Arts Council of Northern Ireland
Bob Collins, former director-general of Ireland's national broadcaster RTE, has been named as the new chair of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (ACNI).
Northern Ireland culture minister Carál Ní Chuilín has confirmed the appointment of Collins, who will serve a four-year term and replaces outgoing chair Rosemary Kelly.
In addition to announcing the new chair, Ní Chuilín also revealed that David Alderdice; Anna Carragher; Noelle McAlinden; Katherine McCloskey; and Paul Mullan had joined the board.
Collins said: "Our sector is affected as much as any by the economic climate, and we have to ensure that the arts can continue to deliver to their full potential.
"There are also, however, tremendous opportunities ahead, as we prepare for the 2012 Titanic celebrations, the Cultural Olympiad and the 2013 City of Culture in Derry~Londonderry."
