Allocations to the Arts and Culture sector are published in the 2025 Revised Estimates Volume for the Public Service. The 2025 allocation to the Arts and Culture sector was €380,993,000.
On 7 October I announced the details of €1,514,678,000 in funding allocated to my department in Budget 2026 which will see increases across all areas, with a total 9.5% rise across the Department. The information requested in relation to the final allocation to the Arts and Culture sector for 2026 will be available in the 2026 Revised Estimates Volume for the Public Service, expected to be published in mid-December.
