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

I am advised that at the midpoint of the open period for applications (that is, day 15 of the 30 day period that the application portal is open), the Department had received 3530 applications, which is in line with expectations for the scheme at this point.
