Ms Katherine Licken:

We have indicated that the budget for Galway 2020 is €15 million. We have indicated to the Galway 2020 organisation that the funding remains available. Those responsible have submitted revised proposals to us in light of the pandemic and all of the events that could not take place. They have submitted to us revised proposals on how they might go about the programme in a new format. We are reviewing this now in consultation with the Minister. We have also asked the European Commission to consider extending the programme out to 2021.
