MISP Transparency First Music Contact @DeptCulturelRL Catherine Martin Culture_Ireland As with many issues it’s the silence that’s deafening. And it’s what makes others complicit in the wrong doing. On a brighter note I see from this article that future grants will be managed by the arts council. irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arts…

Jenní First Music Contact @DeptCulturelRL Catherine Martin Culture_Ireland To regain and increase confidence around this there still needs to be accountability & engagement. The future of our industry can only be made better by fixing what is wrong in the present, not ignoring it and repeating the past

well said Gerard Howlin in today’s LGB Matters The music industry in Ireland was partly to blame for the last fiasco as articulated by MISP Transparency . We had no cohesive group to talk to Catherine Martin .... but we are working on it now🦊

A key piece here by Hugh Linehan highlighting relevant issues across all creative industries

brian crosby Catherine Martin Brian there is no optimism for hundreds of artists who expected a fair crack. We first had MISP and every scheme since follows the same route. Subjective distribution of funds. It is shocking out here and no one in there is listening. Read the stories. Chosen few get the gravy.

A thread. This was a meeting that most in the events industry didn't know about with Catherine Martin on September 2. One week later a €5m scheme announced. Half of applicated got nothing but some are directors of businesses that got repeated grants worth huge amounts.

Some excellent work. Well done.

MISP Transparency Office of the Information Commissioner Some very interesting facts here that should be read by all applicants who failed to get funding from the first LPSS Scheme. We’ll done MISP Transparency for sticking to the task… somebody caught with their hands in the cookie jar @DeptCulturelRL take note.

Some solid recommendations by Ken Foxe here, that could only be for the better when it comes to #FOI #ForTheFuture @DeptCulturelRL Culture_Ireland Office of the Information Commissioner #MISP

Thank you Aengus O Snodaigh TD for raising these issues in the Dáil. oireachtas.ie/en/debates/que…

Doing things terribly has not worked. We must look to even worse approaches & pray that almost nothing is enough.

Catherine Martin @gavreilly.com on Bluesky Maybe this time those that actually need it will be looked after rather than MCD and their cronies.
