Written Answers. - Film Projects.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

123 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands the number of film projects being made or in production here; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32128/01]

As I informed the Deputy previously, my Department's area of responsibility relates to the certification of films under the section 481 tax relief scheme. A total of 23 such certificates have been issued to date in 2001, 11 of which were for TV broadcast. There are five applications on hand.

Statistics relating to activities in the film sector are compiled on an annual basis by the Audiovisual Federation of IBEC, the Irish Business and Employers' Confederation. I understand the statistics for 2000 will be available shortly.
