Under the Arts and Culture Capital Enhancement Support Scheme (ACCESS II) some 155 applications were received seeking funding of over €200m. This demand greatly exceeded the funding of €32m available for disbursement under this round of the scheme. An independent Selection Committee was appointed to evaluate all the applications received under the ACCESS II scheme.

On this occasion this project was not included in the list of successful applicants. The application will be retained on file and will be considered further should additional funding become available.
