      As does any production that comes to Ireland. We won it back from Romania where season 1 was filmed

      Good, this is called attracting investment.

      We gain more than we lose.

      Well yeah, that’s how the film industry operates. You need to pull them in with tax breaks.

      Another take on this : https://businessplus.ie/media-plus/irish-film-screen-ireland/

      The sector is worth around €1bn to the economy each year, and growing. The total in film tax credits last year was €121m, so it’s well worth it.

      There’s also a significant amount of media tourism, where a major show like Game of Thrones influences travel decisions in the succeeding years.

      I would hazard a guess that the income tax generated by the Irish crew on all these productions exceeds the tax break.

      The other bonus is that the production company has to prove to Revenue that everyone got paid and the directly employed people via PAYE where appropriate. No one is left out of pocket and no one has to chase payments.

      Yet another clickbaity headline from the Irish Times trying to generate outrage over something perfectly normal. And they expect people to _pay_ for shite reporting like this.

      There’s a whole industry for this in sports and entertainment. Something like a Wrestlemania or a Super Bowl is shopped around cities for concessions, like site fees, tax breaks and sold as a tourism booster and good for the local economy downstream. The same thing happens for TV and movies.

      Studios will go to where offers the best deal. LA fell asleep at the wheel. Kudos to us, in this case

      I see no issue here. We want people to come here to create jobs, generate Business and tourism…
      I’ve been watching the series and the locations look stunning in it.

      I think it’s gas that a few people converted an old furniture warehouse into a film studio down in Skibbereen, and it’s absolutely flying it. It’s about as far from a city / airport / trainline as you can get, and that’s not stopping it.

      I should rent out the spare bedroom. Cough, sorry, mini-studio.
