Amharc ar fhreagraThe Live Performance Restart Grant Scheme (LPRGS) was launched in March to provide a new grant for businesses engaged in staging live events in the arts and culture live performance sector. This scheme has supported the live entertainment sector by providing business re-start grants to de-risk the planning of events and to assist with the costs of reopening following the lifting of COVID-19 public health restrictions.
The payments process for this scheme has now concluded and €14.8m has been paid to successful grantees. Details of grantees are published on gov.ie at the following location - www.gov.ie/en/publication/d1d0c-live-performance-restart-grant-scheme-lprgs-guidelines/.
