Arts Council cuts funding to children’s books yet still supports animal circuses

Suzanne Harrington asks whose genius idea was it to cut children’s books while still funding animal suffering?

My kids are half Irish – my half, thank you – but don’t live in Ireland. This means that at school they don’t learn about Irish history and culture, but I’m sure they’ll read the great Irish writers when they’re older, if they can ever drag their faces away from their phones and iPads long enough to focus on Ulysses.

So not anytime soon, obviously.
