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

Engagement with Screen Ireland

Ms Désirée Finnegan:

There is so much. The skill and talent of the crew is absolutely a huge draw for Ireland. It goes without saying that the landscapes are second to none. Ireland has beautiful locations to film. There is support and a willingness on the part of all of the agencies to help. There was a question earlier about what can other State agencies do to support the industry. We have collaboration and partnership with Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Tourism Ireland when a project comes in. Film tourism has become a very important area around the world and the work that Tourism Ireland does in promoting those locations is very powerful for studios coming in and filming here.
