Artists' Remuneration

Catherine Martin (Dublin Rathdown, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
I am aware of the communication with Deputies and understand that a petition that was handed in stated that every Irish performer and crew member deserves the right to appropriate and proportionate remuneration and that Irish performers will not be subject to lesser terms and conditions regarding their intellectual property rights than international performers in similar roles. I am in full agreement with those sentiments and want to see a sustainable screen industry in Ireland in which everyone is treated fairly and receives fair and equitable remuneration. If an Irish performer is in a situation in which he or she is subject to lesser terms and conditions than others in similar roles, or is aware of such a situation, I ask him or her to bring it to the attention of my Department or of Screen Ireland.
