In budget 2020, Screen Ireland was allocated €21.066 million. A 10% increase on this would amount to an additional allocation of €2.1 million. As part of the July Jobs Stimulus in 2020, I announced details of an additional €3 million to be made available to Screen Ireland to support TV drama and €5 million to be administered by Screen Ireland as part of a pilot performance and production support package. A further 10% on this additional monies would give rise to a further cost of €0.8 million.
