Mr. John Arkins:

We have been in dialogue with Screen Producers Ireland. We have correspondence in front of us going back to 2016, which states, "SPI remains committed to the progress agreed in December between the IFWA and SIPTU and negotiating an industry agreement to the benefit of all concerned". Our issue is that SPI cannot negotiate an industry agreement and we said that we could not either. We can only sit down and talk to our employers. Since SPI does not employ us, we cannot then have an industry agreement. We do not work for SPI.
