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

Christopher O'Sullivan: That is important. It is great to hear about that funding stream, but there is a reason it probably had not been applied for. We can see a lot of these small, independent studios being swallowed up by bigger companies, but it is so important they are locally led, locally managed and locally run. It is about the add-on benefits in the form of catering, transport, carpentry and whatever...

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

Christopher O'Sullivan: I agree with the idea of an officer as well. I will just move to a quick last question. It is perhaps for Mr. Kavanagh or Ms Nash again. What need to be done about those state aid maps and trying to get them passed at European level? The last maps were a bit of a disaster when it came to the tranches and areas that were left out. That is an issue we can all agree with. In Portugal,...

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

Christopher O'Sullivan: I am not sure that extra 5% is the way to go again because we would have the same regions missing out. Maybe new maps in terms of a different investment is the way to go. I will finish on this, because I have gone way over my time. Obviously, despite the incredible work that is going on right across the sector, including the work of people here, and I totally take Ms Flood's point...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Integration of LGFA and Camogie Association with the GAA: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Christopher O'Sullivan: I will be brief because many of the questions have been asked. I love the way Mr. Ó Broin is dropping names like Dan Rooney, as in, "I was just chatting with Dan Rooney". That comes from being president of the GAA. Fair play. Congratulations, this is an extraordinary venture. I am four square behind it. Even though it has its detractors, such as those who say, for example, it is...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Integration of LGFA and Camogie Association with the GAA: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Christopher O'Sullivan: I agree. That is why I found it extraordinary. If I had someone like Patrick Horgan rang me to say "Christopher, can you help us out? We are organising a greyhound racing night in Cork, can you sponsor a race?", it would absolutely floor me but this is exactly what happened with the great Cork camogie team that just won the All-Ireland. This is an amazing group of players. They are...
