PRODUCTION CATALOGUE PRODUCTION IRISH FILM 2014 AN EYE ON TALENT CHAIRMAN’S NOTE I am greatly honoured to have been appointed Chairman of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) and am fully committed to continuing the great work of my predecessors. The IFB has been supporting Irish stories told through film, television, animation and documentary for twenty years. These stories are an integral part of Irish culture, and through the medium of cinema, with its massive global reach and popularity — and nowadays through online and broadcast media as well — they can travel the globe and be shared with more people than ever before. The IFB will continue to invest in their journey every step of the way. At home, the film, television and animation industry generates substantial revenue for the economy, and it shows great potential for growth and job creation in the future. As the development agency for this industry, the IFB’s investment in Irish creative talent presents an excellent return to Ireland, both culturally and economically. I look forward to helping build on this Irish success story.
