My Department has not received reports of any such alleged activity. I know that the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection stated that it would liaise with the Deputy on the issue. It is important to state that blacklisting is against the law and is not and should not be tolerated under any circumstances. The Deputy sometimes refers to a belief that the film industry is exceptional in some way and that normal employment law does not apply to it. However, as the Deputy is aware, that is not the case. Departmental officials are not aware of claims by employers in the audiovisual industry that there are such exemptions to employment law for that industry.
