============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

I agree with Deputy Dillon that festivals are of great significance to communities, even more so now after two years of being deprived of the festivals.
The 2022 allocation has been capped at €5,000. The announcement is imminent for the 2022 allocation, which remains as it is. Although the scheme is capped, it is working in that it has a massive impact on local communities. There are no plans in train to increase the allocation. The current scheme, which is capped at €5,000, will be announced very shortly.
