Announcing the awards, Minister Catherine Martin TD, said: “It is vital that we continue to support our artists as they work to present their work globally in new and innovative ways. I am delighted that the Culture Ireland funding announced today will assist Irish artists to reach audiences worldwide in person, where possible and return to making cultural connections and building audiences for Irish arts.”
