The Government has announced three new initiatives to support the night-time economy.
€800,000 is being allocated to support arts centres to open late, along with a pilot plan to turn Dublin’s Moore Street Market into an evening food and culture destination.
The announcement also includes the €2million e Noise Mitigation Grant Scheme to help venues sound-proof their premises, with grants of up to €70,000.
Councillor Michael Sheehan is welcoming the initiative and is calling for Wexford county to come together to submit an application for funding.
