An Interdepartmental Group comprising officials from my Department and other relevant Departments and agencies has been established to examine and report on recommendations to increase foreign and domestic investment in Ireland’s film and TV sound stage studio infrastructure in the face of growing demand for audio-visual content across multiple platforms. This builds on the process commenced last year by the Irish Film Board, which sought expressions of interest in this regard. T he Group has met on a number of occasions since its first meeting in January of this year and its work is ongoing.
