Artists' Remuneration
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-19
============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

I am asking for any specific cases to be brought to the Department or to Screen Ireland. As the Deputy said, the section 481 cap was lifted. That was welcomed by stakeholders, including Irish Equity, which sought that. There is a process in place whereby Screen Ireland has put in an independent facilitator. There is that lack of clarity around the assignment of intellectual property in the screen industry. There is also a lack of clarity about the ability of some creatives to enter into collective bargaining. That issue has also emerged. I hope that the outcome of the process is to reach an agreement on the operation of the new law and identify all matters that need clarification. I encourage full engagement with that process.
