Rather than presenting this (in my opinion, weak) pseudo-economic case, wouldn't it be better to make a normative case for the non-economic value of the arts and the role of artists towards the public good?

Of course, I'm not against using public money to make people happier BUT can/should we measure improvements in wellbeing in that way?

And goes the claim that the Irish gov't received €1.46 for each €1 spent mischaracterise what's really going on?

"an artists"? 🙄🙄

At least this upstart (anti-)Pope has the best Roman numeral.
