The €50 million in extra supports for live performance announced in budget 2021 came under subhead B6. However, that subhead increased by just €38.2 million in the Revised Estimates for 2020-21. How was the missing €11.8 million made up? Does this mean €11.8 million in cuts to the budget for regional museums, galleries, cultural centres and projects or did the Department make an error?
