736 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport the names and addresses of all organisations awarded grants under the culture technology grant scheme; the amounts awarded to each organisation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48410/10]
View answerIn November 2010 I announced the details of the twenty five successful projects funded under the Cultural Technology Grant Scheme — an initiative aimed at using technology to promote Irish arts and culture. The aim of the initiative was to use a variety of the best emerging and existing technology information and communications methods to deliver a promotional, educational or tourist information product to promote the Irish arts, culture and creative sectors and each of the successful projects fulfils this aim.
The details of the organisations which were successful and the amount awarded under the Cultural Technology Grant Scheme are listed on my Department's website and are set out in the table.
