Mr. Eoin Holohan:

No, absolutely not. I have been in this industry for 25 years. Deputy Boyd Barrett asked how people get a job. I got a job as a trainee. I knocked on a door and asked could I have a job on a film set, and that is what I got. People acquire the skills and they move up through the grades. There has always been training on the set from the crew: you teach your crew the skills that you have, and that is how it progresses. In 2018, when skills development came into section 481, it was fantastic for us because, finally, the crew were recognised and the skills development progress was recognised as a requirement. We want trainees to come into the industry. I do not want them to have it as hard as I did and, although I am not playing the violin, there have been tough years in the past, when people could not get work and they would be hoping the phone would ring, but it would ring. People do go from job to job. I and the people who work with me want to work on different types of films. I want to work on big budget international movies and I want to work on indigenous Irish productions; I have worked on both and that is how I made my career. For the trainees that come into my department, that is how I train them up, and they then move on and work for another location manager. Maybe the next time they come around in my direction, they will be a location assistant because they will have acquired those skills and moved on.
