RECORDED ARTISTS ACTORS PERFORMERS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Recorded Artists Actors Performers (RAAP) is Ireland's dedicated performers' collection society, operating as a not-for-profit, member-led organisation. Its core purpose is to ensure that musicians and actors are fairly compensated for the public use of their recorded performances - whether on radio, television, digital platforms or other media - both within Ireland and abroad. By collecting and distributing neighbouring-rights royalties, RAAP recognises and rewards the vital contribution performers make to every recording.

RAAP's services centre on transparent royalty collection, accurate distribution, and strong advocacy for its members. It supports artists at every stage of their career, from emerging independents to internationally renowned headline acts, across all musical genres. The society also provides guidance on rights protection and works to maintain a fair, open system that reflects the true value of performers' creative labour.

Rooted in the legacy of pioneering chairman Paddy Cole, RAAP continues to champion fairness, transparency and robust representation for Ireland's performing community, helping artists focus on their craft while the society looks after their rights and earnings.
