The Government’s capital investment plan Investing in our Culture, Language and Heritage 2018- 2027 provides for funding of €200m to be invested in media production and audio visual industries through the Irish Film Board over the next 10 years which will have a positive impact right across the country.

This will assist in realising the vision under Pillar 4 of the Creative Ireland Programme to develop Ireland as a centre of excellence in media production.

Related to this my Department will soon publish the report on the “Economic Analysis of the Audiovisual Sector in the Republic of Ireland” and related Government Plan for the Audiovisual industry which will set out in greater detail how it is proposed to develop the industry further.
