As I stated, the film industry is not outside the remit of the law. It must be subject to the same rigours of the law as any other industry. My Department is not aware of any particular issues with workers in the industry. It is important to again stress that the new film regulations are in place and that the tax credit is now linked to quality employment and observance of all employment legislation, as well as enhanced skill development requirements. Screen Training Ireland, a division of Screen Ireland, held an inaugural screen industry education forum in November of last year, the aim of which was to bring together screen industry stakeholders, policy influencers and providers of training and education to focus on the skill development challenges and opportunities in the screen sector in Ireland.
