Arts Minister Catherine Martin has revealed details of a €4million fund to bring DJs, musicians, comedians and other artists to nighttime gigs all over the country.
And the minister said she is especially focused on small towns and villages in rural Ireland.
The cash bonanza is part of the minister’s plan to revitalise the nighttime economy and after launching similar successful events in towns and cities earlier this year, she is now turning her attention to rural Ireland and the smaller towns and villages dotted across the country.
