    Abstract

    The article explores the basis for the growing interest in the creative industries and attempts to determine how much of the interest is driven by hype and how much by reality. Originally, the term creative industry was used to describe all industries based on creativity that generated intellectual property. The sector includes a range of business types, such as advertising, designer fashion and antiques. The Irish economy has experienced growth throughout the last 15 years. Natural resource sectors, including arts and music, have been recognised as a significant economic resource. The creative industries have been heralded as the country's new Tiger Economy.
