We support and encourage the promotion of Ireland as a high-quality and competitive tourist destination through the following funding schemes:
We have now launched our Grants Scheme for Large Tourism Projects (for capital grants above €200,000). The scheme sets out to encourage innovation to support tourism across Ireland.
In 2017, we invested €2.9 million across 251 festival and events through our festival and events initiative. Find out if your event is eligible.
There are various Government supports for Irish start-ups and small businesses. The online guide is to help Irish start-ups and small businesses navigate the range of Government supports.
