In support of a commitment in the Programme for Government, the Night-Time Economy (NTE) Taskforce was established in July 2020 by Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin T.D.
The Report of the Night-Time Economy Taskforce was noted by Government and published in September 2021. It contains 36 practical recommendations in the areas of regulation, licensing, planning, transport, safety and increasing the diversity of activities as part of the night-time offering. Since the publication of Report, the Night-Time Economy Unit has been working with the Implementation Group of the Taskforce Report, the NTE Sector, relevant Government Colleagues and Agencies to progress and implement the 36 actions laid out in the report.
