Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Future of the Media Sector: Discussion
Mr. Alan Esslemont:
One of the problems with the regional uplift is the current state aid map of Ireland. It is very complicated. That is one of the problems we have to try to solve. The regions are not clear and certain places are bypassed. If we are to get support for regional productions, a hybrid approach will probably be needed. An uplift is a strong possibility but, coming the other way, the ability to grant aid to certain productions wherever they are in Ireland is also a good thing. There are conversations to be had over the coming months.
