1. Recognition, Representation & A Recovery Plan

1.1          Recognise the Event Industry, in its’ own right, to acknowledge it as the preeminent economic sector it is, and to assign responsibility for this sector to the Department of Business, Enterprise, and Innovation.

We are currently following up with Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mr. Leo Varadkar T.D. regarding this matter

1.2          Enable Event Industry consultation with or representation on all relevant Taskforce groups i.e. Business, SME, Insurance Reform etc.

We will be following up with the members of the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response regarding this matter 

1.3          Support the Event Industry by immediately establishing an Event Industry Taskforce that is fully representative of the industry, together with other relevant experts to:

• • • deliver an interim report to the July fiscal stimulus package for the Event Industry
    • deliver industry specific guidance regarding safe operating in a COVID-19 environment
    • support and inform government with regard to the safe re-introduction of events and mass-gatherings
    • deliver a clear roadmap to re-opening, to include contingency plans and strategies regarding potential changes in guidelines and/or circumstances in the future
    • deliver a medium-term report that comprehensively assesses the catastrophic impact on the Event Industry
    • support the industry to review and update relevant Codes of Practice(s), Guidance Documentation, and Legislative Instruments
