For Night-Time Economy Businesses and Workers

Louth County Council, through its Drogheda-based Night-Time Economy pilot, invites you to join a network of positive change by taking part in free online training focused on safety, inclusion, and best practice.

This suite of training was developed to support businesses and individuals operating within Drogheda’s night-time economy, including pubs, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, theatres, cultural venues, festivals, event organisers, gyms, sporting organisations, taxi companies, and more.
As identified in the National Night-Time Economy Taskforce Report, safety remains a national priority. In response, and with support from the Drogheda Purple Flag Group, the Drogheda community is taking proactive steps to build capacity, improve collaboration, and make the town a safer, more welcoming place after dark.

While this programme has been developed specifically for Drogheda, training modules are also available county-wide on request.

The Department of Culture, Communications and Sport funds this night-time economy initiative.

  • Policy Templates

    To support Ireland's nighttime businesses operate more smoothly and safely, seventeen new policy templates are now available for download.

    Tailored to the unique legislative and cultural context of the country, these resources offer clear operational guidance for staff at all levels, from frontline workers to management and ownership.

Ireland's NTE Task Force

Ireland's Night-Time Economy Taskforce was established in 2020 under the Programme for Government. The Taskforce examined the Night-Time Economy holistically to increase the diversity of events, enhancing cultural opportunities into the evening, and encouraging innovation and creativity in the Night-Time Economy. 

The report of the Night-Time Economy Taskforce, published in September 2021, is a Cross-Government Report containing 36 actions across a broad range of issues associated with the Night-Time Economy.

Ireland's Night-Time Economy pilots include Dublin City, Cork City, Limerick City, Galway City, Kilkenny, Drogheda, Sligo, Buncrana, and Longford Town.
