View answerOn 13 February, I was very pleased to announce the details of more than €9 million in capital funding for arts and culture centres across the country as part of the Creative Ireland programme.
A total of 56 cultural organisations will benefit from this capital investment, including theatres, heritage centres, galleries, archives, integrated arts centres, artist studios and creative and performance spaces. Of the €9 million over 85% is going to projects outside Dublin.
There are seven flagship projects which will receive substantial funding as follows:
- Solstice Meath Arts Centre – €300,000
- The Irish Arial Creation Centre (home of Fidget Feet) – €350,000
- The Hunt Museum, Limerick – €400,000
- The Hawk’s Well Theatre in Sligo – €550,000
- Cavan Town Hall Theatre – €750,000
- The Riverbank Arts Centre, Kildare – €1,000,000
- Wexford Arts Centre – €1,000,000
A further 49 projects will receive funding ranging from €20,000 to €276,000 as set out in the Table to this question and as published on the website of my Department at www.ahrrga.gov.ie.
