Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish Film Board (IFB) is the statutorily independent agency with primary responsibility for the support and promotion of film-making in Ireland, in respect of both the indigenous sector and inward productions. The IFB is funded through my Department but is independent in its day-to-day operations. I understand that the IFB no longer operates a specific regional support scheme and that all supports for production funding are now allocated from one scheme, covering all of the country. Details are available on the IFB website at www.irishfilmboard.ie.
