Cork Venues Get €1M Boost

Ten Cork music venues are set to receive a total of one million euros in government funding to support live shows featuring original music and comedy acts. Each venue gets between five and twenty thousand euros, helping them stay open and nurture new talent. This year’s expansion sees sixty venues nationwide selected, up from thirty-four last year, highlighting growing national support for grassroots arts. While operators welcome the boost, unions like Siptu argue more is needed to tackle systemic issues like low pay and job insecurity in the night-time economy. For Cork’s venues, this funding means more gigs, more artists, and a stronger cultural heartbeat in the region. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
