Malcolm Byrne: I thank all of the witnesses and not just for their presentations today. We are experiencing a relatively golden period in terms of Irish content production in film, television drama and animation. The combination of the work all the witnesses do is particularly important. Our committee wants to see a lot more of it, and part of the reason for that is what the witnesses have outlined....

Malcolm Byrne: Sorry to interrupt. Given what Mr. Kavanagh has outlined and that there are issues around state aid rules, of which we are aware, should we look at the 32% rate, especially in light of what has happened in the UK? What action should we take?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Support for Development of Regional Film and Television Production: Discussion (20 Mar 2024)

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Support for Development of Regional Film and Television Production: Discussion (20 Mar 2024)

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Support for Development of Regional Film and Television Production: Discussion (20 Mar 2024)
Malcolm Byrne: I have one final question and Mr. Kavanagh might want to take it. When the 5% regional uplift was introduced, and this is where I was asking the question, the figure of 5% was set because there was an assumption that filming outside of Dublin and Wicklow cost at least 5% more. Has the Department carried out any other research as to the impact of the regional uplift we have heard about and...
