Ms Mary Nash:

The intent of the regional uplift was to generate training in whatever area we might be talking about. While there are trained people in Cork, the reason it stays in Dublin and Wicklow is it is cheaper. When moving out of the city it costs a lot more and this is because the labour is being moved from the city or Wicklow and paid per diem, as Ms Finnegan said. If the crew base was local, the productions would go there.
