Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Eoin Holohan:

In the uplift, it was stated that the trainee must live within 45 km of the production office. Normally, the word is put out and CVs come into the production office, and all the departments get those CVs. Pretty much everyone who applies gets a job. Last summer, we worked on Inishmore and Achill and a couple of those trainees made the move and came to Dublin, which was great because there is work here and they are working. Nevertheless, I wish there were also work in the regions.
