Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Support for Development of Regional Film and Television Production: Discussion
Ms Mary Nash:
I will take the arts capital fund first because though it is not really part of film, it is part of the investment part of the portfolio. We have an arts capital fund similar to the sports capital fund but it is a bit smaller. At the moment it is called stream E. It is what is known as a demand-led scheme, meaning if someone applies and meets all the conditions he or she gets the money and does not have to compete with other projects. Consequently, the amounts available have to be small. Applicants can get up €50,000, which is not that small.
