Irish teenagers to receive €100 voucher to spend on culture in budget
Here at Cledvibes Radio, we're quite fond of the idea of getting young people genuinely excited about live music and the arts, so this Irish scheme sounds like a winner to us. A hundred euros in the pocket of a teenager is the kind of thing that might just shift them from passive scrolling to actually getting out and experiencing something live, whether that's gigs, galleries or theatre. If a few quid from the government ends up funding someone's first proper music festival or a night at their local venue, that's money well spent as far as we're concerned. We'd love to see more of this sort of thing happening over here in the UK.
