Co-operation between Welsh and Irish arts organisations will be encouraged by a new venture, known as PACT@Temple Bar, it was announced yesterday.

Part-funded by the Ireland-Wales Interreg Programme, PACT will invest €550,000 over two years to offer practical and financial support to artists in the east and south-east of Ireland wishing to make links with their counterparts in west Wales, and vice versa.
