Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is in Los Angeles for a two day trade mission focussed on growing Ireland's TV & film industries.
. Mr Varadkar will meet with senior executives from some of the world’s leading streaming companies, studios and networks, including Netflix, Hulu, Skydance and Fox Searchlight. The Government plans to double the size of the sector over the next five years by increasing production activity and doubling the numbers of people employed in the sector to 24,000.
While in Los Angeles, the Taoiseach will also open a new Irish Consulate and attend an event for the local Irish Community at Loyola Marymount University.
This work plays an important part in the Irish economy, providing many jobs, amazing work, and I am very proud to be part of this industry, both in Ireland and abroad.
