Helped by generous tax breaks, Ireland’s film and TV production sector has never been stronger.
When Irish director Dearbhla Walsh started her career in Ireland in the late 1980s, opportunities for budding film-makers were limited.
“There was no work in Ireland,” says Walsh, “To aspire to be a director was almost a fantasy.”
Today, the picture is decidedly different. Ireland has emerged as a major force in the global film industry in recent years, both in the development of its own films and television series, as well serving as a location and production hub for international productions.
