Fintan Warfield (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

To move on, I touched on the issue of the new strategic plan with Kevin Bakhurst when he appeared before the committee. The witnesses have referred to the plan. I had intended to raise the matter, and bringing the support of the independent sector up to between €70 million and €75 million, at the meeting. Reference was made to it being 50% above levels currently produced by independent production companies by 2028. I think the new strategy refers to 2028. What policy measures should we be considering? It is a significant change to the ecosystem of independent production in Ireland. What should the Oireachtas be aware of in the context of that change? Has Screen Ireland or Coimisiún na Meán been talking about this? Do the witnesses have anything to add on what is a significant change to the ecosystem of independent production?
