The Irish Music Rights Organisation, IMRO, report is the latest in a long line of studies calling for the strategic development of the Irish music industry and repeating a number of recommendations on how to nurture our home-grown musical ability through education, training and promotion abroad with a focus on new talent. To date, policy-makers have almost completely ignored these studies. What concrete measures does the Minister plan on taking to implement to recommendations of the latest report? Can we believe there will be more meaningful action for our artists this time around?
