The Chief Executive agrees to the provision of loan funding to the Irish Diaspora Foundation Limited for use at the Irish World Heritage Centre.

The reason for the decision is that Trustees of the Irish Diaspora Foundation Limited have requested loan funding to support for the Irish World Heritage Centre in order to sustain the asset through the current period closure due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and whilst A number of other support arrangements are being put in place through Government funding sources, additional funds are also required in addition to what is already being accessed.
