IMRO Welcomes New Phase of Night-Time Economy Support Scheme. This initiative will provide much-needed funding to grassroots music venues, reinforcing their vital role in nurturing emerging artists and sustaining Ireland’s vibrant music ecosystem >>> imro.ie/featured-artic…

We'll get nowhere if nimbyism like this is allowed to dictate the direction of Dublin City. The knocking value off local properties argument is a cod too, in fact venues like this can add value to surrounding properties #culturalplacemaking rte.ie/news/business/…

Excited to share that I’ve been invited to join the new Licensing Policy Taskforce We’ll be making recommendations to help shape a licensing system that better supports culture, community and the night. Proud to bring Bristol’s voice to the table. gov.uk/government/new…

"Outside dining and later opening hours on the menu as government backs British pubs, clubs and restaurants with moves to slash burdensome red tape in the hospitality sector." 👏 Change may be afoot in UK. Take note Ireland Fianna Fáil Fine Gael gov.uk/government/new…

.Belters Only call on the Government to prioritise the revival of Dublin’s nightlife in an interview featured in the current issue of Hot Press. Give Us The Night hotpress.com/music/belters-…

🗣️ NI Nightlife Needs Your Voice The Department for Communities is running a public consultation on the changes to licensing in 2021. This is a crucial chance to push for further reform - changes our nightlife and cultural spaces urgently need and deserve. Thread 👇

Disappointing from DCC but unsurprising based on rollout of toilets at Stephen's Green, which are also inaccessible at night. Unless Govt fund DCC to do it, it seems that little to no nightlife/NTE investment will come from the council in our capital city 😐 #giveusthenight

As nightlife continues to struggle badly, there's no even partially valid reason to delay the licensing bill any longer. Should be published and enacted as soon as possible. Micheál Martin Simon Harris TD Jim O'Callaghan TD Patrick O'Donovan rte.ie/news/health/20…

33 Irish venues receive financial support from Grassroots Music Venues scheme nialler9.com/33-irish-venue…

This is great news for all of the venues involved, well done to all 👏 And big thanks to the Dept and Patrick O'Donovan for supporting. The scheme itself was very oversubscribed as mentioned here, so let's hope this can be re-run again soon 🙏

At HydeDublin for a briefing from Give Us The Night.

At the Give Us The Night review of Ireland’s nightclub industry: There are now only 83 regularly attended nightclubs in the country. In the year 2000, there were 522 - a decline of 84% in 25 years. Today’s roadmap seeks to reverse that decline. RTÉ News

The number of nightclubs in Ireland has fallen to just 83, as of January 2025, an 84% decrease from 522 in 2000, representative group Give Us The Night has said. 🪩 #ireland #nightclubs #giveusthenight 909originals.com/2025/06/25/giv…

"Call for increased opening hours and public transport to reform nighttime economy" On Morning Ireland this morning, discussing our new report on the nightclub industry. Sunil Sharpe rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

According to Ciara Power and co-founder Sunil Sharpe, the recent Give Us The Night report paints a grim picture of Ireland’s steeply declining nightlife but emphasises that urgent action can still revive a scene full of potential. fourfourmag.com/give-us-the-ni…

Irish advocacy group Give Us The Night has published a damning report into the state of the country's nightlife. ra.co/news/83093

Great news, for many sectors, not least nightlife. Let's hope this is the last we hear of this, and that premiums can start to noticeably drop. The cost is still one of the top challenges for the operation of nightclubs.

A clear election promise from the government parties has been de-prioritised. Thanks Una Mullally for covering the licensing/night-time dancing debacle again! RayRazor District8 Dublin emma_jg Mother Club Sunil Sharpe #whyarewewaiting #giveusthenight irishtimes.com/culture/2025/0…
