Marie Louise O'Donnell: The witnesses may forgive me as I am new to the film industry, as opposed to theatre or media. First, is Ms McGrane making a distinction between her in an office at the bureaucratic or creative end of it, and the brilliant trainee rigger, construction worker, electrician on the ground because it does not seem as though they have the same facility to run through the system and get to the...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Let me put it this way. Ms McGrane stated that she ran through it. It was very easy for her. She got promoted. She had no problem getting promoted. She had no problem finding ways. She has no problem staying there. She had no problem having a semi-permanency. However, we are hearing that, with another end of the industry, trainees are having a problem in getting permanency and in...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Mr. Hickey stated that Screen Training Ireland has plans for the development of training across the audiovisual production sector and is engaging with the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht on the development of its training services. How is he engaging with them and what does he hope to get for them because I do not remember them becoming Quality and Qualifications Ireland,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Irish Film Industry: Discussion (31 Jan 2018)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I understand that. How does Mr. Hickey see his role with the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht moving that on? In what way would Mr. Hickey like to see that moved on besides a cheque?

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I am a great believer that Government has to be led from the outside by people who know what they are doing. I am a great believer in those working on the ground from the writer right down to the rigger because Governments and Ministers change. Does Mr. Hickey see that Screen Training Ireland would have any connection with the Department of Education and Skills in the development of highly...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I will carry on. The whole area of building skilled apprenticeships is exactly what Ms McGrane is talking about in another way. The permanency and non-haphazard level of skilled apprenticeship is not coming out of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. Its seat and its well is finding its way creatively, industrially or agriculturally, within the Department of Education and...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: It has always fascinated me that we have got to the stage where we are thinking and living in our heads. I have watched the university system over 30 years and it grew into a place that one would go to university to learn how to make a film. A person went to learn the sociology, the philosophy or the psychology of film or the brilliance of film and learn about the literature and writing of...
