## Resource

Tickets.ie has collapsed into liquidation, leaving hundreds of thousands in unpaid artist and event organizer fees—money that was never ringfenced, leaving no safety net. With no legal protection for ticket sales funds, volunteer-run events across Ireland now face financial ruin. Galway councillor Shaun Cunniffe is demanding urgent national laws to force companies handling public money to keep funds separate, calling on ministers to act before more people lose their livelihoods.
