Budget 2025: ‘Source of great pride’ that Ireland has international reputation as centre of excellence for screen production, Minister for Finance says
The unscripted television production incentive will “maintain momentum and expand the breadth of the Irish industry”, Minister for Finance Jack Chambers said. In recent years, several Fox Entertainment game shows aimed at the US broadcasting market have filmed in Dublin and Wicklow in partnership with Irish-founded company BiggerStage.
There was no new measure for the visual effects sector, but the Minister flagged that one would be considered. “Screen Ireland is delighted to welcome the incentive uplift to further develop Irish cinema, local production and creative artists. In an intensely competitive global industry, the fiscal incentive together with Screen Ireland investment, is vital in supporting Irish filmmaking and storytelling on screen, led by Irish creative talent,” said chief executive Désirée Finnegan.
