Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:56 pm on 20 June 2017.
Well, we receive a number of applications in terms of supporting the erection of statues across Wales and it’s important that any statue has sufficient local support so that that project can move forward. We do understand, of course, how important the visual arts are in terms of conveying a message to people, and that was true of the exhibition at Caernarfon castle, ‘The Weeping Window’, which conveyed very powerfully the impact of the first world war not only on local communities, but also on those who were killed in battle.
