The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media is offering €500,000 in funding for the third phase of the Night-Time Economy Support Scheme.

This initiative aims to support small, established grassroots music venues that promote live music or dance events. Venues can apply for up to €15,000 to support programming of live or electronic music events featuring emerging, grassroots artists. The funding can cover costs for production, crew, PR, advertising, equipment hire, security, and event insurance. The scheme operates on a first-come, first-served basis and will close at noon on 15 May 2025 or when the fund is exhausted.
