Question:

251. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if her attention has been drawn to artists not currently resident in Ireland being awarded funding under the music industry support package schemes. [43493/20]

Written answers

Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

I understand from First Music Contact, who managed the Music Industry Scheme on behalf of my Department, that all successful applicants provided Irish addresses. It is a requirement of the awards for the three schemes that all activity being funded is undertaken in Ireland.
