Irish Independent Production Sector

QUESTION

To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment when he will meet an organisation (details supplied) to discuss the Irish independent production sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY
 
My officials met with Screen Producers Ireland (SPI) earlier this year for a full briefing on the Irish independent production sector.
 
SPI have recently been in contact with my office requesting a meeting since my appointment as Minister for Communications, Climate Action & Environment. Unfortunately, this has not been possible at the present time due to diary commitments. I have, however, offered SPI the opportunity to meet with relevant officials from my Department who will brief me on any issues arising.
