Culture Ireland is a unit of my Department with responsibility for the promotion of Irish Arts internationally. In doing so, they work with International presenting partners and annual funded bodies to bring high quality Irish arts, across all art forms, to global audiences.
In 2022 Culture Ireland's Budget is €4.6m. A doubling of that budget would bring the total allocation to €9.2m.
Any increased funding in 2023 will be determined in the forthcoming Estimates process.
