Proposals for Festivals and Events in Docklands
The Dublin Docklands Development Authority has organised and facilitates a wide range of festivals and events to animate and bring footfall to the area. On both the north and south side of the Docklands a range of outdoor spaces have been used by the Authority and other private organizations for events attracting thousands of visitors to the area
The intention of the Docklands Authority is to create self-sustaining events which endure beyond the life of the Docklands project. As such, the Docklands Authority has sought alternative means of funding events which are established and built as successful properties.
Where funding for an event is being provided by another state agency e.g. Failte Ireland, Dublin City Council, the Authority will consider a reduction in fees charged for use of spaces. This is to be on a case by case basis and all costs for use of site will have to be borne by the event.
