Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Classification of Film Appeals Board: Chairperson Designate

9:30 am

Ms Margaret Taylor:

Correct. It is a new board and it makes sense that we meet initially. I have no doubt they will have questions and will want to review previous decisions. I can reassure the Senator, based on my experience of the industry, that €1,000 is not a great deal of money in the grand scheme of things in terms of film turnover. That would be true of the big studios' productions but not necessarily of the smaller films. I understand the appeals that have been heard have tended to be taken by the major studios and there may be an issue in this regard.
