Delighted to host a briefing with @IrishEquity members today ahead of the debate on @labour’s amendment to the Finance Bill tomorrow.

Blown away today by vision of @geraldnash @RBoydBarrett in building a legacy for screen industry by working to get fair legal contracts for directors in the Irish screen industry @pb4p @labour @malcolmbyrne @IrishEquity @DeptCultureIRL @Osnodaig @ScreenIreland

[Catherine Martin @cathmartingreen]

The clear message from my engagement with the audio-visual sector at home & abroad was for the need to increase the cap on the S481 Tax Credit

Today’s increase to €125M is a major boost for investment & employment in the Irish film & TV sector for years to come 🎥
