    ‘I don't know anybody in Government opposed to it’ – Patrick O’Donovan seeking continuation of basic income for arts scheme

    Culture minister Patrick O’Donovan is seeking a continuation of the basic income scheme for artists in the upcoming Budget, which currently pays eligible artists and creative workers €325 a week.

    The measure, which aims to address the financial instability faced by those working in the arts, is set to expire in February 2026, but Mr O’Donovan has said he hopes it will receive the necessary support to be continued.
