In June 2018, the Irish Film Board was renamed Screen Ireland.

Details of the financial allocations for 2019 to bodies under the aegis of my Department are published in the Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV) 2019 which is available at the following link:

For ease of reference, the figures for Screen Ireland are reproduced below.

YearAllocation Change 
2018€18,022,000
2019€20,040,000+ 11.2%

The increased allocated to Screen Ireland in 2019 is therefore €2,018,000, or just over 11%, higher than in 2018.
