The new Culture and Creativity Strategy for 2023-2027 has been launched by Monaghan County Council.
Deirdriu McQuaid who leads the strategy at a local level said the programme will be delivered over the next five years through collaboration and partnership, which will promote an understanding and appreciation of the value of creativity in all its forms.
Our reporter Jodie Curran spoke to Deirdriu prior to the launch. She began by asking her to explain more about the initiative:
The programme is a follow-on from the success of the first Culture and Creativity Strategy for the county which has been implemented over the past five years.
Overall, the Creative Ireland Programme is a government initiative committed to enhancing access to, engagement with and enjoyment of Ireland's culture and creativity.
