My Department has recently received an application from this organisation for Stream E funding, which is currently being processed by Department officials. Under Stream E, grants of up to €50,000 are available to not-for-profit arts and culture organisations for capital projects.

The group previously applied for funding and was successful under Stream D of my Department's Cultural Capital Scheme. The grant was drawn down in full, by the group in April 2021. Stream D was set up specifically to assist arts and culture organisations to reopen safely after COVID-19 and help prevent its spread.

Department officials will be in touch with the organisation when the assessment of the application is complete or if any further information is required.
