Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Scrutiny of Tax Expenditures: Screen Producers Ireland

Ms Elaine Geraghty:

The trade union movement and the industry have now provided an opportunity to have those issues heard. The Deputy's question to me is whether I think there are issues. I do not believe so because with section 481, which is pertinent to this conversation, as employers we have legal requirements. There are personally signed declarations about commitment and compliance with all these things. Certainly, our industry is slightly different; it is not a bricks-and-mortar concern and we do not produce widgets. That does not mean we are a special case, however. We must still provide proper employment and adhere to all the relevant legislation. We have afforded the opportunity to have these issues discussed with ICTU. I suggest that everyone contribute to that process.
