Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Engagement with Screen Ireland

Ms Désirée Finnegan:

Can I add something there? Because a number of the projects are judged on track record, it is so important, because it is such a significant endeavour financially and in all other ways to produce either a feature film or a television series that sometimes, there can be producers who have a very strong track record in the area. In terms of funding, and we will furnish the exact detail of this, we have a huge number of debut feature film-makers who we have supported and the funding tends to go to a very broad group of applicants.
