Ms Elaine Geraghty:

Everybody wants it to work for the region. There is absolutely no question about that. To go back to the point that James Hickey made earlier, it is about the production cycle. What we want to do is provide a pipeline of opportunity. Obviously, we want production in and we want activity. What does that do? It creates employment but, equally important, it creates the opportunity to upskill new entrants.

Equally as important, it creates the opportunity to upskill new entrants. If we cannot provide production then all of those other things do not work. It is a combination of all of those things. We need to create a perfect storm. The vision for Troy Studios was outstanding. In ways it was before its time because everything needed to work. The regional uplift was so welcome but the fact that it was shortlived and tapered already created a doubt. By the way, huge multimillion euro productions make decisions really quickly on where to go. The members would be amazed. They could decide Troy Studios one day and then simply decide to move the production to Budapest. That happens regularly.
