View answerIn Budget 2017, I secured €5m to commence the implementation of the Creative Ireland programme which includes an ambitious plan to deliver 10 major initiatives by the end of this year. Further details of these initiatives are available on http://creative.ireland.ie. To date, €220,000 has been spent on promotion and public engagement under the Creative Ireland Programme. This includes the hosting of Culture Ireland workshops in every county in Ireland; the development of 2 websites to inform the public and home and abroad: Creative.Ireland.ie and Ireland.ie, and the content of those sites; and the launch of the Programme in Ireland, New York, London and Washington.
