Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Scrutiny of Tax Expenditures: Screen Producers Ireland

Ms Elaine Geraghty:

Exactly. That is like comparing apples with oranges in one sense because the data set is completely different. The Department of Finance's cost-benefit analysis did not look at post-production, which is a significant part of production. It came out with a set of numbers over a different period. The economists are much smarter than I am but we are looking at two different pieces of information. That Olsberg number was a broad audiovisual number. If one drills down into our sector, the 7,070 figure is accurate.
