The culture and creative investment programme includes a €40 million programme of investing in cultural infrastructure across all regions. It will provide support for the maintenance and development of regional arts centres, theatres, regional museums, galleries, archives, multi-use facilities and, specifically, artists' studios. This is set out on page 32 of Project Ireland 2040. The investment in national cultural infrastructure will be informed by the statutory regional spatial and economic strategy to ensure alignment with the development priorities within the national planning framework and to meet local population needs.
