Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Engagement with Screen Ireland

Ms Susan Bergin:

The industry has been very resilient through Covid. We have been lucky in terms of getting a lot of support from the Department and the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, so that we could continue. We diverted some funding into Covid supports but we also got extra funding in terms of the business continuity fund, the production fund and the cinema support stimulus. A huge amount of kudos has to be given to the industry that it adhered to the protocols and kept production going. We have come back out in 2021 and we are looking at a record year.
