Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

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

Mr. Stuart Switzer:

That needs a lot of discussion. It is very early days. It works in different ways across Europe, different percentages of levy, who pays the levy etc. That needs a discussion between the members, namely, the legislators, and those of us in the industry to talk through how that could best benefit Ireland Inc. There are many models for that. We are running up against the time but I might defer to Ms Teresa McGrane who might want to take this up. There are many models of it across Europe. It is a really interesting opportunity. It needs discussion about who pays and who benefits.
