Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Impact of Covid-19 on the Entertainment Sector: Music Entertainment Association of Ireland
Mr. Matt McGranaghan:
The Deputy asked why it has taken so long for supports to roll out. That is a great question. I hope this committee can help us find the answer to it because a €50 million package was promised in October of last year as part of the budget. It is now 23 June and, so far, €1 million of that €50 million has been spent. We are anxiously waiting. Even though MEBAS and the LPSS are there, that money has not yet reached people.
