The Arts Council received an increase of €5 million in its funding and has, in turn, increased its budget for arts in education from €3.1 million to €3.7 million. There are a number of different stakeholders involved in this area, all of which will use some of the funding provided to them to ensure Pillar 1 is delivered. In addition, I will make the case for increased funding to roll out the plan, which is only one pillar of Creative Ireland.
