My Department in partnership with the Departments of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and Business, Enterprise and Innovation, commissioned an economic analysis of our screen based creative industries including  an examination of the economic impact and potential of the Irish film, TV and animation sector. This Report is being finalised and will make recommendations on Section 481.

It is planned that the study will provide an input into the development of an industry-wide long term plan for Ireland as a global hub for the production of Film, TV Drama and Animation under Pillar 4 of the Creative Ireland Programme. Government proposals in relation Section 481 will be indicated in this plan.
