Mr. John Arkins:

I do not know whether this is relevant but I have an example of section 481 funding that I want to share. Approximately 40 films have been made over the past 50 years reflecting some of the culture of Ireland, nine or ten of which were in the Irish language. The total value of section 481 relief for the production companies making Irish language productions in the period from 2015 to 2022 was €120,000. One of the companies, which I shall refer to as "Company B", serviced productions for multinational streaming platforms in addition to one-off film projects. It drew down section 481 funding in the category of between €89 million and €264 million. We know it is at the higher end of this category because we checked it ourselves.
