Peadar Tóibín: Go raibh maith agat. Obviously this is a very important sector for a number of reasons. The first of these is the artistic expression it allows.

Third, the sector adds a lot to the Irish economy. Another important...

Peadar Tóibín: If Ms Geraghty went to Grafton Street and asked a person whether he or she would like an employment scenario where the job comes to an end every four months and the person has to keep reapplying for it, everybody asked would say "No".

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Irish Film Industry: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I want to focus on training. This is a major gripe within the sector as far as I can see because the training seems to have no beginning, no middle and no end. It has no accreditation. If a person looks to go into any sector, what he or she will seek is to know how long it is going to take, know what their output has to be and know the accreditation. Once they have achieved that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Irish Film Industry: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: I would have had people come to me who have degrees, years of experience working in a particular sector within the industry who told me that they get repeated requests to become part of a production as a trainee.
