Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

Earlier, Deputy Ó Snodaigh and I met representatives of film crew in Ireland. I reiterate earlier comments about actors and how they do not have decent contracts or the residuals that many actors have across the world. Beyond that, we constantly deal with the other issues like blackballing and work conditions that no one would accept for film crew. We need the recommendations in the Committee on Budgetary Oversight’s review to be put in place. The Taoiseach has said he supports it. First and foremost, we must ensure we deliver the stakeholders forum, which would allow all these issues to be dealt with. The Taoiseach spoke about a sectoral employment order, SEO, or an employment regulation order, ERO, but we just need this to happen as soon as possible. We cannot let it drag on. There have been promises previously but we have failed these people.
