6,206 incredibly disappointed people this morning. #BasicIncomeArts

It’s amazing how many Government Party TDs, Senators & Councillors are all criticising the work of an artist in a country that pioneers a Basic Income for Artists. #BasicIncomeArts @williamhboney1 @Trickstersworld

🕐☑️Applications are now OPEN for the Basic Income for the Arts pilot Scheme. ➡️Go to https://t.co/SUp0EbG0GQ for full details. #BasicIncomeArts

We welcome #Budget2026 announcements of continued government investment in the arts for 2026, including: 🔹 renewed support for the #BasicIncomeArts 🔹 a capital works scheme 🔹 strong overall investment in the sector Full statement: https://t.co/g4yipOlJPD 📷: Andres Poveda

We are beginning to see very positive impacts from the #BasicIncomeArts Pilot Scheme. The scheme aligns with some of our key strategic priorities and has huge potential to include a greater diversity of voices in the arts, better reflecting Irish society. https://t.co/36FhQGNuFK

Maybe this video will explain why this is NOT the "best deal possible" for Disabled Artists. How is this not understood by now? Disabled Artists are wondering whether to apply or not. Non-Disabled Artists don't have to wonder! #BasicIncomeArts @cathmartingreen @DeptCulturelRL
