Culture Ireland
Culture Ireland, the national agency to promote Irish arts and artists overseas has a budget of €3 million for 2006. Its remit includes the allocation of grants for overseas activity to Irish artists or arts organisations, the funding and facilitation of Irish participation at strategic international arts events and the management of emblematic cultural events. It is also expected to advise the Minister on international arts and cultural affairs.
Culture Ireland will support artists right across the creative spectrum including visual art, theatre, literature, music, dance, opera and film.
