Wicklow is synonymous with TV and film production, with Ardmore and Ashford film studios continuing to invest in the county and bring more opportunities. The planned Greystones media campus affords a strategic opportunity to create additional meaningful, well-paid jobs in Wicklow, meet industry demands and help grow the sector.

Both the Government and the taxpayer are stakeholders in this campus. Despite announcements of more than €300 million two years ago, including €24 million of taxpayers' money in investment in the development of the campus and work commencing at that time, work has since ground to a complete standstill. What actions are being taken by the Government to get this project back up and running? The approach being taken currently, a hands-off one, is not working. We need this investment and this project. What is being done?
