Music Industry and Ireland

The Irish music
seen is very visible but dyeing out on the international stage. “According to
news reports music contributes more than 700 million euro to the Irish economy”.
The report underlines the opportunity for further growth in the sector through
the development of national music strategy routed in four key action areas:
- · Coordination & collaboration through the establishment of a cross-Government music grouping to work with a cross sectorial Industry Advisory Panel to address barriers to growth in the sector;
- · Concentration on copyright to help ensure a fair return for music creators, crucial at a time when the music copyright landscape has changed utterly as a result of technology and the industry is under threat from the extremely low level of return to writers and performers, from platform services;
- · Creative skills development through advanced training and education services that will ensure musicians realise their potential, and that the ‘business of music’ is understood.
- · Compensation that is adequate to address income uncertainty associated with work in the creative and cultural industries – perhaps the single greatest barrier faced by entrepreneurs in the sector.
