Irish Culture
Culture is a huge part of the Irish identity and, as a nation we are renowned for our writers, actors and artists.
Culture Ireland
Culture Ireland recognises the significance of culture and cultural identity for our emigrants. It supports arts events which offer an important opportunity to engage with the diaspora and support them in maintaining their cultural ties to Ireland. Website: www.cultureireland.ie
Creative Ireland
Creative Ireland is the Government's Legacy Programme following on from the Ireland 2016 Centenary celebrations. It is a five-year initiative, from 2017 to 2022, which places creativity at the centre of public policy.

The core proposition is that participation in cultural activity drives personal and collective creativity, with significant implications for individual and societal wellbeing and achievement.
