Questions on Promised Legislation

Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The State has done quite a lot in respect of making provisions for the film world. Over the years, Ireland has had a great reputation in this regard. The State has changed the capping levels for tax purposes in so far as that is concerned. A school of graphic design has been established and moves are under way to acquire extensive building capacity that can be insulated whereby movies can be shot inside these facilities. I visited Ardmore Studios several years ago.
I am not prepared to intervene between the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor, and the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Heather Humphreys. I will, however, get a clear statement from either one or the other or from both for the Deputy so he will fully aware of the situation pertaining to the 32% shareholding.
