Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
Revised General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Louise Ryan:
With regard to regional, certainly when it comes to TV drama, we have funded projects right across the country. Some 51% of the TV drama projects funded by Screen Ireland were filmed entirely in regional areas outside of Dublin and Wicklow. That is a huge part. Especially through our schemes we also have a lot of gender specifics. We are highly focused on 50:50 by 2020 and that remains a key priority for Screen Ireland. Ms McQuillan may have more to say on that.
