John Brady (Wicklow, Sinn Fein)

The Greystones Media Campus was hailed as a transformative €300 million project for Wicklow, set to deliver 1,500 jobs in a major boost to Ireland's creative sector. The Ireland Strategic Investment Fund committed €24 million to the project, and while some site work did commence in 2023, the project has since ground to a complete halt. This is not just a delay; it is a serious risk to one of the most important media infrastructure projects within the State. Now, with President Trump threatening 100% tariffs on non-US film and television productions, investor confidence is under real threat. It appears the Government has gone to ground on this issue, and it has proven very difficult to get any answers. Concrete, immediate action is needed to protect this strategic investment and deliver on the promise of jobs and growth for Wicklow and for Ireland's screen industry. What is the Government doing right now to ensure that this project proceeds without any further delays?
