Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Jan 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I also repeat the issue about the film workers. Over the new year the WRC issued an absolutely damning ruling on the treatment of 38 members of the Irish Film Workers’ Association and established they had been blacklisted by Metropolitan Films International, which is probably the biggest recipient of section 481, and that their rights under the fixed-term workers legislation had been...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Section 481 Film Tax Credit: Discussion (24 Jan 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: Some of it was to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, to hear what it thinks about the WRC ruling. The Department of Finance might have comments on this as well.
