Ms Désirée Finnegan:

When it comes to streaming partnerships, Irish production companies work with all of the streaming partners across the board. There is a huge opportunity to build even deeper relationships. This is part of why we went out with the Tánaiste on a trade mission in September 2019. We found that there were even more opportunities. This is part of why we are recruiting somebody to be based on the ground, particularly with the limitations on travel at present. It has made it even more important to have somebody there to build those relationships. There are significant opportunities we could be building on with regard to indigenous industry and international productions coming into the country.

There is a significant demand for infrastructure throughout the country. We welcome all of the new announcements that have been made and the expansion of the existing studios, which have all been incredibly busy. Since recommencing production, we have had three major international productions in the country being completed during this time. This has been a very good sign.
