The appointment of full-time specialist Cultural Officers in priority locations worldwide has been identified in the Government’s Global Ireland 2025 strategy as a key action to widen and deepen our global cultural presence and engagement. Six posts have been filled since the programme commenced in 2020 in a close partnership between my Department and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. The next such post is to be located in Paris and is in the course of recruitment at present.
