As Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, I allocate funding to Screen Ireland, the development agency for the Irish film, television and animation industry. The allocation for 2021 to Screen Ireland was made up of €3.893m in current funding and the balance of €26.2m in capital funding.

Screen Ireland is statutorily independent and I have no say in funding decisions. The provisional figures for Screen Ireland loans provided in 2021 are set out in the table.
