The Government has committed €15 million in funding to Galway 2020. A Performance Delivery Agreement to set out the mutual responsibilities of Galway 2020 and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, and the terms of the drawdown of the funds under the Agreement, is being progressed by officials in my Department.

Officials from my Department are working closely with the Galway 2020 team to put in place the Performance Delivery Agreement, as well as support them in their work to deliver the a strong Culture Programme in 2020. In this regard, officials from my Department will be meeting with senior management from Galway 2020 this week.

It is expected that the Agreement will be signed before the end of the month.
