Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027: Discussion

Ms Aoife Tunney:

I will respond from a Creative Europe point of view and talk about our cultural area of work. In the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, the Deputy might remember that there was a large programme of events in Ireland which connected back to a pan-European programme of events. On foot of that, it was recognised that cultural heritage in Ireland and across Europe was an underdeveloped or under-recognised area of work and that there were innovative possibilities there for development. In this programme, it has been a sector that has been specified as a priority, under specifically co-operating projects where 20% of the budget is allocated to target that area and to look at qualitatively implementing the European heritage label, which looks at heritage sites and increasing their visibility and impact.
