The scheme will help to de-risk the costs of preparing for new productions which may subsequently have to be postponed, cancelled or curtailed due to restrictions to safeguard public health, the Department said. Under this package, a fund of €1 million is being put in place to stimulate areas of work which artists would usually fund with income from own sources including live event fees.

The aim is to ensure that Irish musicians, engineers, PR, media, agents, labels and publishers can continue to develop and share their work in the context of Covid-19 restrictions.
