Exploring the vibrant artistic landscape of Ireland in 2024, highlighting successes in literature, film, music, and dance, while acknowledging ongoing challenges such as limited space and high housing costs.
The year 2024 was not a standout year for Ireland in terms of winning major international awards like the Oscars, Bookers, and Grammys. However, this narrow measure doesn't capture the full scope and quality of artistic achievements throughout the year. Ireland's literary scene continues to thrive, led by established names like Sally Rooney and Donal Ryan, as well as exciting newcomers like Ferdia Lennon.
The cross-pollination between literature and other art forms was particularly notable, with film adaptations of works by John McGahern and Claire Keegan. Music also saw success, with the band Kneecap gaining popularity and Hozier reaching number one on the Billboard charts in the US. Irish dance saw the establishment of the country's first national dance company, Luail, while theatre continues to showcase both new plays and reimaginings of classic works. Despite these successes, challenges remain. The lack of venues and studio space hinders innovation, and the high cost of housing continues to be a major obstacle for artists. However, there are positive developments. Arts Council funding has almost doubled since the pandemic, bringing it in line with other European countries. The pilot Basic Income for the Arts scheme provides artists with greater financial stability to pursue their careers
