Companies’ contribution to the arts ‘truly enriches our society’

HARCOURT Developments and Heritage Properties were among the winners of the Allianz Business2Arts awards, which were presented in Dublin last night by President Mary McAleese.

The awards, now in their 16th year, honour the contribution of businesses in Ireland to the arts.

President McAleese said last night: “The arts flourish where patronage is strong and we are very lucky that there is a growing culture of State and corporate patronage with the latter engaged in a lively contemporary debate about the role of corporate social responsibility.
