asked the Taoiseach if he will recommend to the Government the establishment of a development fund for the film industry in Ireland.

I have no plans at present to establish a development fund for the film industry in Ireland.
It should be noted that a number of State agencies, such as NADCORP, the IDA and CTT, can provide assistance to the film sector.
In addition, the tax reliefs under section 35 of the 1987 Finance Act, the 10 per cent rate of corporation tax and the business expansion scheme provide a generous range of incentives for the development of a commercially successful film industry.
