About Design & Crafts Council Ireland
The Design & Crafts Council of Ireland (DCCoI) is the national agency for the commercial development of Irish designers and makers, stimulating innovation, championing design thinking and informing Government policy.
Irish craft businesses are characteristically small in scale and are geographically widespread, but taken nationally, the industry is a significant employer while also providing viable, sustainable enterprises in all areas, including those isolated rural communities often seen as unsuitable by other manufacturing sectors.
