Róisín McGarr, Executive Director comments; “These are very difficult times for everyone and our sector has been particularly impacted by the public health restrictions that have been necessary to curb the spread of the virus. We are incredibly grateful to the Arts Council and the Department of Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht for all the work that they are doing for the sector and for their continued investment and their recognition of the value of Siamsa Tíre for the arts in Kerry and nationally. We have a lot of work to do by the end of this year to adjust to the new reality, but we are thrilled to be able to return and plan for a re-opening.”
Staff will combine working in the office and working from home in line with COVID regulations and the Box Office and Gallery will reopen to the public once the COVID measures have been completed.
