Topical Issue Debate
Film Industry

Mary Mitchell O'Connor (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I have had three meetings: one with the workers and the unions; one with Oireachtas Members; and another with Oireachtas Members and the chief executive of and officials from Wicklow County Council.
I hear the Deputy talking about nationalising. In fairness, Enterprise Ireland is not a film production company. It is not a Disney. It will never be able to make films such as those to which the Deputy referred and which won Oscars. That is not Enterprise Ireland's area of expertise. Its expertise lies in ensuring the very best outcome.
