The full list of recipients of a planned €5 million in funding for the live events sector, including commercial venues, producers and promoters, has been revealed.
The funding will be dispensed as part of the economic stimulus measures announced earlier this year, in order to help tide the sector over during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. As private enterprises, these organisations largely don't qualify for other areas of state funding made available to the arts and culture sector.
