I propose to take Questions Nos. 727 and 764 together.
As the Deputy is aware, primary responsibility for the support and promotion of film-making in Ireland, in respect of both the indigenous sector and inward productions (including assistance with locations for the making of films), is a matter for the Irish Film Board (IFB). The IFB is the statutorily independent agency responsible for the promotion and development of the Irish film industry and I have no responsibility in relation to its day-to-day operational matters, including the allocation of resources to different support programmes and schemes.
In regard to the supports available, I would direct the Deputy's attention to the annual reports of the IFB, which are lodged periodically in the Oireachtas Library, and also to the publications by the Board itself on its website www.irishfilmboard.ie .
I would also like to direct the Deputy to the website of the Irish Film and Television Academy - www.ifta.ie – which is another useful information and promotional tool.
