Written answers

As Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, along with having responsibility for policy within the audiovisual industry, I allocate funding to Screen Ireland, the development agency for the Irish film, television and animation industry. The additional funding of €6.65m will be allocated to Screen Ireland and will be made up of €700,000 in current funding and the balance of €5.95m in capital funding.

Regarding the specific outcomes and the breakdown of that additional funding, I have referred your question to Screen Ireland for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
