Support for Development of Regional Film and Television Production: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Moe Honan:

I just wanted to say what Mr. McCabe has said. There is a lot going on in that space with the studios and animation. I wanted to add, because it has not come up yet, that in the context of regional supports, regional development and thinking about it in a wider geographical map, in animation in particular a lot of people since Covid are also working from home and in hybrid situations. They may be coming into companies in a region or going into a hub but also are working from home. As the companies have invested and set their employees up that way, they can be spread quite widely around Ireland, potentially even more so. This supports another strand of the ways in which people want a work-life balance and allows them to remain where they come from.
