Research Study Brief, Leaving Cert 2025
Title
Sample Introduction
To investigate how FDI contributes to Irish film and television production in relation to employment and government revenue.
Background
In recent years, Ireland has become a major hotspot for international media companies to invest and film their projects, due to Ireland’s low film tax credit, and its eye-catching natural landscape. “61% of Screen Ireland supported project production budgets is international finance” (Screen Ireland, 2022)
I am interested in researching this topic in more depth due to family members working in the film industry and my developing interest in studying film in the future.
Line of Inquiry
How does FDI support Irish film and television production in Ireland, creating job opportunities and affecting government finances?
Aims of this Research Project
1) To investigate the effect of the Irish film tax credit on the attractiveness of FDI into Ireland and the overall economic contribution from this investment.
2) To research the impact of foreign film and television companies filming in locations throughout Ireland on tourism in this country.
3) To analyse the role of FDI in Irish film and television production on employment in the film sector.
