New research highlights importance of vibrant creative economy for Dún Laoghaire

The growth of Dún Laoghaire’s creative economy could be significantly boosted by the provision of dedicated spaces for creative activity and exchange, including a ‘creative hub’; an increased presence for IADT in the town centre; and by targeted business and career supports for creative entrepreneurs. These are among the key findings of a new interdisciplinary research initiative undertaken by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s Economic Development Unit and Arts Office, together with the Public Design Lab at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT).
