Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Eoin Holohan:

We approached SIPTU. When we formed the guilds, we needed a new agreement. We approached SIPTU and, between it and SPI, we now have a new agreement. It is working quite well. The guilds structure we have maintains communication among crew members. I am a crew member, as is Mr. Keeley. Communication is maintained between all the productions that are happening. If an industrial relations issue arises on a production, it is dealt with very quickly. A crew member can come to us, and we can go to SIPTU. We are in our infancy but the system is working.
