The Design and Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) is an independent organisation dedicated to advancing the commercial development of Irish designers and makers. It plays a key role in fostering innovation, promoting design thinking, and contributing to the formulation of Government policy.

DCCI receives funding from my Department through Enterprise Ireland (EI), underpinned by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between EI and DCCI. This SLA establishes the framework for agreeing service levels and managing performance in relation to the funding provided by EI on behalf of my Department.

Day to day matters, including staffing, would be a matter for the DCCI.
