Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion

Mr. John Arkins:

I will not do so. I will refer to it as "Company B" and I will not mention the name. Company B owns content in at least one streaming production. It has also availed of supports available from Screen Ireland. In 2021, Company B received a gift of €650,000 from Screen Ireland to enable it to become a company of scale. This company has also made submissions to the WRC, as we have mentioned already. This is how section 481 funding is being used and what it is being used for. If I can source this information from public websites so can anyone else. We can provide this information on companies' submissions and what they state they are doing and not doing. It is not us who are saying this. This is what the companies are saying.
