Mary was delighted to secure €12 million in funding for Na Píobairí Uilleann’s International Centre of Excellence for Uilleann Piping at Henrietta Street, Dublin 1.

The Sound of Ireland Centre will include a Visitor Centre, a Theatre and a instrument making training facility. This will provide a platform to artists to showcase their talents, preserve traditional craftsmanship and contribute to urban regeneration in the heart of Dublin City. The centre is due to be completed and opened in 2027.

Congratulations to Na Píobairí Uilleann on securing funding for the centre and best of luck to everyone involved in the project!
