Under the Irish Film Board Acts 1980-2018, Screen Ireland is a statutorily independent agency with a Board that is a body corporate. The functions of the Board are set out under Section 4 of the Act and the powers of the Board to make grants in respect of those functions set out in the Act. As Minister, I have no role in Screen Ireland's funding decisions. I have however referred your question to Screen Ireland, the statutory agency for the development of the Irish audiovisual industry, for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
