Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 June 2012
92 Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if his attention has been drawn to any change in the Irish Film Board’s regional support programme which was successfully used to encourage film making in the regions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish Film Board (IFB) is the statutorily independent agency responsible for the promotion and development of the Irish film industry. I have no responsibility for any of the day-to-day operational matters of the IFB, including the allocation of resources to any support programmes. This is a matter for the Board and management of the IFB. However, I understand that the IFB no longer operate a specific regional support scheme and that all supports for production funding are now allocated from one scheme, covering all of the country.
