Arts are big contributor to economy, can drive new jobs according to new report
Arts Council press release 4 November 2009
The arts make a very significant contribution to the Irish economy and can be a major driver for jobs and investment, new data released today has shown.
The report, commissioned by the Arts Council and written by a leading economist, suggests the economic impact of the arts may be larger than generally perceived by analysts and policymakers.
Funding from the Arts Council to organisations around the country of €76 million supports more than 3,000 jobs, generates a turnover of €192 million and sends €54 million directly back to the Exchequer in the form of income, VAT and other taxes.
The economic impact of the wider arts sector is also greater than anticipated, with a Gross Added Value of €782 million, total expenditure of €1.8 billion, 26,519 jobs and tax revenue of €352 million.
The report also demonstrates how the arts play a significant role in the creative industries, where Gross Added Value is calculated at €5.5 billion, and total employment is 96,000.
Speaking to journalists today, Arts Council Chairman Pat Moylan described the report as "rigorous, evidenced-based and very welcome".
"At last we can back up what we have known by instinct: the Arts Council is making a very significant contribution to the Irish economy, and can help to generate hundreds more jobs right now, for a proportionately small extra investment," Ms Moylan said.
"Our artists and arts organisations stand ready to play their part in national recovery - in job creation, in boosting Ireland’s international reputation as a hub for creativity, innovation, investment, and, of course, for cultural tourism," Ms Moylan said.
At the briefing, the author of the report, Dr Alan Gray, Managing Partner of Indecon Economic Consultants, said his analysis demonstrated that the arts and cultural sectors have a significant economic impact.
"While I do not believe that the arts should be evaluated solely on economic grounds, it is clear that the sector is an important and labour intensive one. It also makes a significant contribution to Exchequer revenues."

If I speak in the Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all Official NFL Jerseys knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my USA Jerseys Shop body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, NFL Jerseys love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it NHL Jerseys keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always MLB Jerseys hopes, always perseveres.Love never NHL Hockey Jerseys fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in MLB Baseball Jerseys part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappea. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a NBA Basketball Jerseys man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.And now these three remain: faith, hope and NFL Football Jerseys love. But the greatest of these is love.
