Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Support for Development of Regional Film and Television Production: Discussion

Mr. Dermot Horan:

Like Ms Finnegan, I am not sure that we know the exact percentage but I do know how transformative it was to get the likes of the regional uplift for the first season of “Smother” and we also got the WRAP fund. The WRAP fund was the first to come and then we got the regional uplift, which gave that production the vote of confidence not to shoot all the interiors in Dublin but to shoot the whole thing in Lahinch. The entire production was shot in Lahinch and that is what we want.
