Nine towns and cities have been picked for special night-time advisors that will work with local authorities to boost the nightlife economies in tandem with new expanded opening hours.
The ‘night-time czars’ will have an overall budget of €6 million from the Arts and Tourism Minister, Catherine Martin, who has been pushing and promoting invigorating nightlife.
Grants will be available for infrastructure and equipment like soundproofing for nightclubs and late night venues.
