Access programme: ACCESS II (2007-2009)

The Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht established ACCESS II (2007-2009), which builds on a previous programme, to support refurbishment of cultural buildings with a view to improving and extending access to, or participation in, the arts within the catchment area of the relevant facility’. It is a requirement that all funded facilities be ‘universally accessible, both in terms of general access and participation in the practice of arts and culture activities’.
