Irish music rights body IMRO shares out €23.2m

This follows the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO), which collects royalties on behalf of artists, confirming that licence revenues last year fell 2% to €28m from €28.65m

The IMRO directors’ report says that a reduction in revenues from public performance, specifically large concert revenues, contributed largely to the decrease.

The amount in royalties paid out to artists fell 4.7% to €23.2m from €24.4m in the previous year.
