Cruinniu na Casca is part of Creative Ireland, the government’s Legacy Programme for Ireland 2016 – a five-year initiative, from 2017 to 2022, which places creativity at the centre of public policy.  It is a high-level, high-ambition, all-of-government initiative to mainstream creativity in the life of the nation so that individually and collectively, in our personal lives and in our institutions, we can realise our full creative potential.

Cruinniu na Casca is a new national day of culture and creativity, which will take place nationwide on Easter Monday.
