Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht
General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ronan McCabe:
On attracting international funding, it comes back again to the IP question. If Irish producers are taking a budget to market and, in terms of the finance, we have a greater percentage of the finance already raised in Ireland, that strengthens our position from a negotiating point of view and it strengthens us in terms of the rights we hold. The amounts available are quite modest. Anything that helps increase funding and brings us to market with greater funding will be positive for Irish producers in animation and live action.
