Impact of Covid-19 on the Film and Television Industry: Discussion

Ms Désirée Finnegan:

On the studio infrastructure, green production expenditure in 2019 reached €117 billion globally. We had a trade mission to Los Angeles at the end of 2019 where we heard directly of the need for more infrastructure. We currently have three studios, each of which has been expanding and a number of new announcements were made throughout the year on new infrastructure. We welcome all of those announcements. There is a need and a demand for more infrastructure across the country.
