Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 February 2022
307. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the amount of film board funding that has been issued for development grants and production grants in 2021. [9137/22]
View answerAs Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, I allocate funding to Screen Ireland, the development agency for the Irish film, television and animation industry. The allocation for 2021 to Screen Ireland was made up of €3.893m in current funding and the balance of €26.2m in capital funding.
Screen Ireland is statutorily independent and I have no say in funding decisions. The provisional figures for Screen Ireland loans provided in 2021 are set out in the table.
