Tributes to Brennan for making arts more accessible

THE late Seamus Brennan was credited last night with making the arts more accessible to a broader range of people.

Mr Brennan, who died last month, was Minister for Arts up until May this year when his time in Cabinet came to an end because of his illness.

Tribute was paid to him at the launch of Culture Night 2008 last evening. Organisers said he was “hugely supportive” of the project, which will provide hundreds of free cultural events in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick.
