Labour General Election Candidate for Dun Laoghaire, Carrie Smyth welcomed the announcement that €10,000 in funding has been made available for the Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire. The funding is being allocated as part of the Department Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht’s Small Capital Grants Scheme and will be used to support arts groups and venues. More than 60 organisations will benefit nationwide, with maximum grants of €10,000.

Speaking after the announcement Carrie Smyth said: “This small grants scheme is designed to directly support arts groups and venues, which are so important to our cultural life.

“The €10,000 in funding announced for the Pavilion Theatre will help to enhance this wonderful facility delivering arts and culture to the community.

“The grant will make a huge difference to the organisation and will be invested in improving lighting equipment.

“The economic recovery has allowed increased funding to the arts this year, and it is important that our arts and cultural sector continues to benefit as the recovery takes hold.”
