Ms D?sir?e Finnegan:

There is absolutely a very talented film-making community in Cork. We were down on that set and there is a really strong community there. We will do everything we can to support its growth. With regard to infrastructure and studio facilities, we work to support all the elements around that. I refer particularly to things like skills in the area to make sure that we are supporting studios. However, there are limitations on our funding with regard to direct investment in facilities. We will look into it a little bit further and see what else we can do to provide support but we very much welcome those kinds of facilities being converted, giving more opportunities to bring productions to the regions, as we were talking about earlier.
