Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Film Relief Section 481 Tax Credit: Discussion (resumed)

Ms Mary Nash:

I thank Deputy Durkan. He is absolutely right about the ability to sell the country abroad. I am sure members have seen some of the very recent films that have just come out over the past six months. All we need to do is look at them to realise how dramatically wonderful our scenery is. Those elements the Deputy talked about are harder to capture. My colleague, Ms Donaghy, mentioned that while the cost-benefit analysis picked up on many things, it did not pick up on that.

The committee is aware that Screen Ireland has commissioned a report on the culture of dividends. It will make that available to the committee over the next few weeks. That may answer some of Deputy Durkan's questions.
