- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)
John Lahart: I thank the witnesses. We have been waiting to have this conversation for a long time. I am grateful that the witnesses have shown up in such numbers. Clearly, it is an indication of how seriously they take the issue. I hope I am not misrepresenting him, but Deputy Boyd Barrett has been particularly exercised in simple terms on the broader issue of pay and conditions, in particular for...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)
John Lahart: It is pretty obvious - the pay and conditions of the lower grade workers on film sets. Concerns were raised to the committee about the amount of money that is spent on film production by the taxpayer and the question was asked if the return is justifiable. Do the witnesses have any concerns about the pay and conditions of those who are on or just above the minimum wage and what do they do...

John Lahart: I will stop Ms Kirby there. Is Ms Kirby saying there are structures in place that look after professional development or skills development in terms of mechanisms to challenge pay agreements or to have an input into them?

John Lahart: Good. I have two minutes after all that. I am sorry this is such short, sharp stuff. If SGI is in its infancy, as Mr. Holohan says, I would certainly be interested in being kept abreast of how it develops and in the committee having a monitoring brief regarding it. I am serious about that. I am aware that the expenditure of companies in Ireland as a result of productions was...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)
John Lahart: There were very happy guys. Two thatchers were employed. The Chair talked about the cultural dividend. To me, that was one of the obvious ones. My late mother was from west Kerry, which is still attracting tourists as a result of "Ryan’s Daughter", which was made 50 years ago. I do not know whether Deputy Boyd Barrett will be unhappy with bits and pieces of this yet, but he is...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Film Sector Tax Credits: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)

I found our discussion thus far quite reassuring, aside from the obvious exciting pieces that we cannot really develop here and the enthusiasm for...
