My Department published and launched "Investing in our Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht 2018-2027" as part of Project Ireland 2040 on 10th April 2018. This ten-year plan sets out the Government's commitment to invest €1.2 billion capital in our cultural infrastructure. As part of the launch, my Department organised an event in the newly refurbished National Gallery of Ireland which included three separate panel discussions comprising key stakeholders across the various policy areas of my Department, i.e. representing culture, heritage, Gaeltacht and Irish language sectors. The aim was to provide a forum to interested parties from across the country to discuss the opportunities presented by the unprecedented capital investment in the sector. The total cost of the seminar, held on April 10th was €64,162
