PREAMBLE

THE GIARD

InTRODuCTIOn / HIGHLIGHTS

In 2010 the Irish film and television sector had a record year in

terms of production output contributing €225 million into the

Irish economy, in terms of creating jobs and spend on local

goods and services. This figure was an increase from €157.2

million in 2009.

Throughout the year the Irish film industry continued to build

on its excellent international reputation garnering significant

recognition and acclaim as new Irish features were selected

for major international festivals and Irish talent picked up

awards and received nominations for some of the industry’s

highest accolades.

Highlights include the Irish film industry receiving five

Academy Award® nominations, three of which for the IFB

supported films The Secret of Kells, Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping

Beauty and The Door while Irish animator Richard Baneham

and his team picked up the Oscar for Best visual Effects for his

work on Avatar.

Other highlights include All Good Children being selected

for the prestigious Directors Fortnight at Cannes, His &

Hers picking up a prize for Excellence in Cinematography

at Sundance and Irish films being selected for some of the

world’s most renowned festivals including Toronto, Tribeca,

SXSW, Karlovy vary, Edinburgh, Clermont Ferrand, Annecy,

Hot Docs and London. These selections, nominations and

awards reinforce Ireland as a centre of cultural excellence

with a reputation for both creativity and professionalism on

the world stage.

It was also a record year also in terms of cinema releases, as

a number of indigenous Irish films reached Irish audiences in

2010 including four feature length documentaries. His & Hers

was especially successful receiving critical acclaim and having

an extended Irish cinema release due to popular demand and

topping the Irish DvD charts.

FunDInG

Government funding, provided directly to the sector through

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) is a key

component of the entire audiovisual content industry.

In 2010 the IFB received a total of €19.3 million of government

funding. This funding, together with the improved Irish tax

incentive for film and television production Section 481,

allowed 13 Irish features,1 Irish language Tv series, 6 creative

co-productions, 6 animated projects and 17 documentaries

with theatrical ambitions to go into production in the year.

InTERnATIOnAL PRODuCTIOn

2010 proved to be one of the strongest years for incoming

international film and television productions Ireland has

experienced having attracted numerous big budget feature

films, television series and television movies.

The year got off to a great start when the major feature film

Haywire, directed by Hollywood legend Steven Soderberg and

starring Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender filmed

in Ireland. With an Irish budget of €3.1 million, it shot in

numerous locations around Dublin and Wicklow.

THE RuNWAY

RÉAMHRÁ / BuAICPHOInTí

Bliain thar na bearta a bhí ag earnáil na scannán agus na teilifíse

in Éirinn i 2010 ó thaobh aschuir táirgíochta de, bliain inar chuir

an earnáil €225 milliún isteach i ngeilleagar na tíre, agus ó thaobh

poist a chruthú agus caiteachas ar earraí agus ar sheirbhísí áitiúla

de. Ba mhéadú an figiúr sin ó fhigiúr de €157 milliún sa bhliain

2009.

Lean tionscal na scannán in Éirinn ar aghaidh i gcaitheamh na

bliana ag tógáil ar an gclú idirnáisiúnta atá aige atá ar fheabhas

i gcónaí agus ghnóthaigh sé aitheantas agus moladh suntasach

de réir mar a roghnaíodh príomhscannáin nua Éireannacha do

mhórfhéiltí idirnáisiúnta agus de réir mar a ghnóthaigh talann

Éireannach duaiseanna agus ainmniúcháin do chuid de na hacailídí

is mó atá ar fáil sa dtionscal.

I measc na mbuaicphointí bhí na cúig ainmniúcháin a fuair tionscal

na scannán in Éirinn do Dhuaiseanna an Acadaimh®, trí chin

acu do scannáin a fuair tacaíocht ó BSÉ / IFB, The Secret of Kells,

Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty and The Door agus an Oscar

a bhuaigh Richard Baneham agus a fhoireann i gcomhair na

Maisíochtaí Físiúla is Fearr dá shaothar ar an scannán Avatar.

I measc na mbuaicphointí eile tá roghnú All Good Children don

ócáid ghradamúil sin Coicíos na Stiúrthóirí ag Cannes, an duais

a bhuaigh His & Hers ar son Feabhais sa Cineamatagrafaíocht ag

Sundance agus roghnú scannán Éireannacha do chuid de na féiltí

is clúití ar domhan ina measc Toronto, Tribeca, SXSW, Karlovy vary,

Dún Éideann, Clermont Ferrand, Annecy, Hot Docs agus Londain.

Neartaíonn na roghnúcháin, na hainmniúcháin agus na duaiseanna

sin seasamh na hÉireann mar lárionad feabhais chultúrtha agus

cuireann said lena cáil ó thaobh na cruthaitheachta agus ó thaobh

na proifisiúntachta de ar stáitse an domhain.

Bliain thar na bearta a bhí ann freisin ó thaobh eisiúintí cineama

de, mar gur shroich líon áirithe scannán dúchasacha lucht

féachana in Éirinn le linn 2010 ina measc ceithre scannán faisnéise

ar fhad phríomhscannáin. D’éirigh go han-mhaith go háirithe le

His & Hers a fuair ard-mholadh ó na léirmheastóirí agus a fuair

eisiúint shínte cineama in Éirinn de bharr éileamh an phobail agus

a bhain amach bharr na gcairteanna DvD in Éirinn.

MAOInIÚ

Tá maoiniú ón Rialtas, a sholáthraítear go díreach don earnáil

trí Bhord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) ina

phríomhchuid den dtionscal lánas closamhairc ar fad.

Sa bhliain 2010 fuair an BSÉ/IFB iomlán de €19.3 milliún de

mhaoiniú ón Rialtas. De bharr an maoiniúcháin sin, mar aon

leis an an spreagadh cánach in Éirinn le haghaidh léiriúchán

scannán agus teilifíse, Alt 481, cuireadh tús léiriúcháin le

13 phríomhscannán, sraith teilifíse amháin i nGaeilge, 6

chomhléiriúchán chruthaitheach, 6 thionscadal beochana

agus 17 scannán faisnéise i rith na bliana.

LÉIRIÚCHÁIn IDIRnÁISIÚnTA

Bhí 2010 ar cheann de na blianta ba láidre I dtaithí na hÉireann ó

thaobh léiriúcháin scannán agus teilifíse ag teacht isteach de mar

thoradh ar mhealladh isteach líon mór príomhscannán ar bhuiséid

mhóra, sraitheanna teilifíse agus scannáin teilifíse.

Cuireadh tús den scoth leis an mbliain nuair a rinneadh an

scannánaíocht in Éirinn ar an mórphríomhscannán Haywire,

a raibh laoch Hollywood, Steven Soderberg, ina stiúrthóir air

A KISS FOR JED WOOD

Big-budget period dramas made in Ireland included the

television series Camelot starring Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green

and Claire Forlani which filmed for 22 weeks in Ardmore with an

Irish spend of €25.5 million and Game Of Thrones for which all

the post production was completed in Ireland.

Other series, television movies and mini-series to film in Ireland

included Neverland (Sky Movies & SyFy) starring Rhys Ifans, Bob

Hoskins and Anna Friel, Sinbad (Sky 1), Treasure Island (Sky 1 &

ABC) starring Eddie Izzard and the hugely popular Primeval (ITv

1, ProSieben, uKTv and BBC Americas) which had an estimated

Irish budget of €12.3 million and filmed for 30 weeks in Dublin

and Wicklow.

Other international projects which filmed in and around the

Dublin region were Paolo Sorrentino’s feature film This Must Be

The Place which stars Sean Penn and Frances McDormand and

Rodrigo Garcia’s Albert Nobbs, which was produced by and stars

Glenn Close and had an Irish spend of €4.4 million.

The upturn in incoming international production is due in large

part to the improvements made to the Section 481 tax incentive

in 2009 which increased Ireland’s competitive position as an

international film and television destination.

Attracting such major international productions provides

an economic boost to Ireland with increased international

investment in the economy and increased employment across a

huge variety of sectors. Other positive spin-off effects of these

productions are promoting Ireland as a tourist location and the

improvement of Ireland as an industrial location for all aspects

of creative endeavors.

PROMOTIOn AnD IFB TRAInInG InITIATIvES

2010 saw the IFB promoting Irish film industry and Irish creative

talent at international festivals such as Clermont Ferrand,

Berlin, and Cannes. An Irish delegation attended the Producers

Guild of America’s ‘Produced By’ conference in LA. The IFB

along with Culture Ireland and the IFI coordinated a special

programme of Irish film for two of the biggest film festivals in

China. Meanwhile the second Give Me Direction screenwriting

conference and the Real Deal at the Galway Film Fleadh were an

opportunity for the IFB to engage with the Irish film industry.

LA Trade Mission and the Producers Guild of America ‘Produced By’ ConferenceThe IFB and a delegation of Irish producers travelled to Los

Angeles to meet uS producers and attend the second annual

‘Produced By’ conference, hosted by the Producers Guild of

America at Fox Studios. The IFB took at booth at the conference,

under the ‘Ireland on Screen’ banner where IFB staff and Irish

producers promoted the section 481 tax incentive and Ireland as

a film location. The aim of the Irish presence at the conference

was to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with

international producers and broadcasters and reinforce Ireland’s

profile as a destination for film and television production

ultimately attracting inward investment to Ireland.

Special Irish Programme at the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Beijing International Movie FestivalA special programme of contemporary and retrospective

Irish features and short films was coordinated to screen

at the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Beijing

International Movie Festival. The programme was presented

in association with the IFB and the IFI’s Reel Ireland and was

supported by Culture Ireland.

THE LOOKING GLASS

agus ina raibh Ewan McGregor agus Michael Fassbender mar

phríomhaisteoirí. Bhí buiséad Éireannach de €3.1 milliún ag an

scannán agus rinneadh scannánaíocht i líon mór suíomhanna

thart ar Bhaile átha Cliath agus ar Chill Mhantáin.

I measc na ndrámaí mórbhuiséad stairiúla a rinneadh in Éirinn

bhí na sraitheanna teilifíse Camelot ina raibh Joseph Fiennes, Eva

Green agus Claire Forlani mar phríomhaisteoirí agus a rinneadh

22 seachtain scannánaíochta uirthi i stiúideonna an Aird Mhóir

agus a raibh caiteachas in Éirinn de €25.5 milliún uirthi agus

Game Of Thrones a rinneadh an t-iarléiriú ar fad uirthi in Éirinn.

I measc na sraitheanna, scannáin teilifíse agus mion-sraitheanna

a rinneadh scannánaíocht orthu in Éirinn bhí Neverland (Sky

Movies & SyFy) ina raibh Rhys Ifans, Bob Hoskins agus Anna Friel

marc phríomhaisteoirí, Sinbad (Sky 1), Treasure Island (Sky 1 &

ABC) a raibh Eddie Izzard sa phríomhpháirt ann, agus scannán a

raibh an-éileamh air - Primeval (ITv 1, ProSieben, uKTv agus BBC

Americas) a raibh buiséad measta in Éirinn de €12.3 milliún aige

agus a rinneadh scannánaíocht air ar feadh 30 seachtain i mBaile

átha Cliath agus i gCill Mhantáin.

I measc na dtionscadal idirnáisiúnta eile ar rinneadh

scannánaíocht orthu i gceantar Bhaile átha Cliath agus máguaird

bhí an príomhscannán de chuid Paolo Sorrentini - This Must Be

The Place - ina raibh Sean Penn agus Frances McDormand sna

príomhpháirteanna agus Albert Nobbs le Rodrigo Garcia, a léirigh

Glenn Close agus í féin ina príomhaisteoir ann agus a raibh

caiteachas in Éirinn de €4.4 milliún aige.

Tharla an cor chun feabhais sin i gcúrsaí léiriúchán idirnáisiúnta

a thagann isteach sa tír go mórmhór de bharr na bhfeabhsuithe

a rinneadh I 2009 ar an ndreasacht cánach de réir Ailt 481 a chuir

le seasamh iomaíoch na hÉireann mar shuíomh cheann scríbe

scannánaíochta agus scannáníocht teilifíse.

Nuair a mhealltar mórléiriúcháin idirnáisiúnta den chineál

sin neartaíonn sé an tír seo leis an infheistíocht mhéadaithe i

ngeilleagar na hÉireann agus méadú sa bhfostaíocht ar fud an

iliomad earnálacha. I measc na n-iarmhairtí dearfacha eile a

bhaineann leis na léiriúcháin sin tá cur chun cinn na hÉireann

mar láthair turasóireachta agus feabhsú na hÉireann mar

shuíomh tionsclaíoch do dhíchill chruthaitheacha de gach cineál.

TIOnSCnAIMH CuR CHun CInn AGuS OILIÚnA BSÉ/IFB

Le linn 2010 leanBSÉ/IFB ar aghaidh ag cur tionscal na scannán

in Éirinn agus talann cruthaitheach Éireannach chun cinn ag

féiltí idirnáisiúnta ar nós Clermont Ferrand, Berlin agus Cannes.

D’fhreastal toscaireacht Éireannach ar an gcomhdháil ‘Produced

By’ a bhí eagraithe ag an Producers Guild of America i Los

Angeles. Rinne BSÉ/IFB i dteannta Culture Ireland agus an IFI

comhordú ar chlár speisialta scannán Éireannach le haghaidh

dhá cheann de na féiltí scannán is mó sa tSín. Bhí deis chomh

maith ag an IFB dul I dteagmháil le tionscal na scannán in Éirinn

ag an dara chomhdháil scríbhneoireacht scáileáin ‘Give Me

Direction’ agus ag an ‘Real Deal’ ag Fleadh Scannán na Gaillimhe.

Misean Trádála chuig LA agus an Chomhdháil ‘Produced By’ de chuid an Producers Guild of America Thug BSÉ/IFB agus toscaireacht léiritheoirí Éireannacha cuairt ar

Los Angeles chun bualadh le léiritheoirí ó na Stáit Aontaithe agus

chun freastal ar an dara chomhdháil ‘Produced By’ ag a raibh

an Producers Guild of America mar óstaigh agus a tionóladh ag

Stiúideonna Fox. Thóg BSÉ/IFB both ag an gcomhdháil, faoi bhrat

‘Ireland on Screen’ áit a raibh an dreasacht cánach, Alt 481, agus

Éire mar shuíomh scannánaíochta á gcur chun cinn ag foireann

BSÉ/IFB agus ag léiritheoirí Éireannacha. Bhí sé mar aidhm ag na

hÉireannaigh a bhí i láthair a deis a thapú le bualadh le léiritheoirí

agus le craoltóirí idirnáisiúnta agus próifíl na hÉireann a neartú

mar cheann scríbe chun scannáin agus cláir teilifíse a léiriú.

ALL GOOD CHILDREN

An Irish contingent of directors, producers and talent travelled to

Asia where both Zonad and Ondine were nominated for the Golden

Goblet Awards (the Asian equivalent to the Oscars) at Shanghai.

The inclusion of a programme of Irish film at these two major

Chinese film festivals was a huge opportunity to spotlight Irish

talent and raise Irelands profile in China encouraging enterprise,

trade and investment.

Give Me Direction The 2nd Give Me Direction script writing conference took place in

Dublin which focused, through a mix of public interviews, informal

discussions, sessions and screenings, on the expansive topic of

comedy in filmmaking.

Curated by Lenny Abrahamson, Sharon Horgan and Pat McCabe,

international guests included Bobby Farrelly (Kingpin, There’s

Something About Mary), Nicole Holofcener (Please Give, Friends

With Money) and Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong (Peep Show, Four

Lions). It was a great opportunity to engage with Irish writers and

champion original writing for the screen.

Real Deal The Real Deal took place once again during the Galway Film

Fleadh and focused on content with producers taking part in a

round table discussion in the morning about what works for them

in terms of the films they make and how it compares to what works

in the market. The afternoon focused on content of animated films

with a masterclass with Pixar’s Lee ulrich and Darla Anderson

who have worked on features such as Toy Story 3, A Bugs Life and

Monsters Inc. It was a chance to talk about the more creative side

of the business and the thought process behind choosing projects.

Idirnáisiúnta Scannán Shanghai agus ag Féile Idirnáisiúnta

Scannán Beijing. Cuireadh an clár i lathair i gcomhpháirt le BSÉ/

IFB agus Reel Ireland de chuid an IFI agus fuair sé tacaíocht ó

Culture Ireland.

Thug meitheal stiúrthóirí, léiritheoirí agus talann as Éirinn

cuairt ar an áis áit ar ainmníodh Zonad agus Ondine le haghaidh

Gradam Golden Goblet (coibhéis na háise ar na gradaim Oscar)

i Shanghai. Deis ríthábhachtach chun aird a dhíriú ar thalann

Éireannach agus le próifíl na hÉireann a neartú sa tSín agus

chun fiontar, trádáil agus infheistíocht a spreagadh ab ea clár

scannán as Éirinn a chur isteach sa dá mhórfhéile scannán sin

sa tSín.

Give Me Direction Tionóladh an dara chomhdháil scríbhneoireacht scripte ‘Give

Me Direction’ i mBaile átha Cliath agus dhírigh sé sin, trí

mheascán d’agallaimh poiblí, comhphlé neamhfhoirmeálta,

seisiúin agus taispeántais, ar an ábhar fairsing sin, an greann sa

scannánaíocht.

Lenny Abrahamson, Sharon Horgan agus Pat McCabe a bhí i

mbun coimeádaíochta agus i measc na n-aíonna idirnáisiúnta

bhí Bobby Farrelly (Kingpin, There’s Something About Mary),

Nicole Holofcener (Please Give, Friends With Money) agus Sam

Bain agus Jesse Armstrong (Peep Show, Four Lions). Deis

iontach a bhí ann chun teagmháil a dhéanamh le scríbhneoirí

Éireannacha agus le scríbhneoireacht urnua don scáileán a chur

chun cinn.

Real Deal Tionóladh an chomhdháil ‘Real Deal’ arís le linn Fleadh Scannán

na Gaillimhe agus dhírigh sé ar chúrsaí lánais. Ghlac léiritheoirí

páirt i gcomhphlé comhchéime i rith na maidine mar gheall

ar na nithe a n-éiríonn leo dóibh siúd ó thaobh na scannán a

dhéanann siad agus an chaoi gur féidir comparáid a dhéanamh

idir an méid sin agus na nithe a n-éiríonn leo sa mhargadh.

Dhírigh seisiúin an tráthnóna ar lánas scannán beochana agus

tionóladh máistir-rang le Lee ulrich agus Darla Anderson ó

Pixar a bhfuil obair déanta acu ar phríomhscannáin ar nós Toy

Story 3, A Bugs Life agus Monsters Inc. Deis a bhí ann labhairt

faoin dtaobh cruthaitheach den ghnó agus faoin bpróiséas

smaointeoireachta atá taobh thiar de thionscadail a roghnú.

CIRCuS FANTASTICuS

STATEMEnT On InTERnAL FInAnCIAL COnTROLS

On behalf of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board,

I acknowledge our responsibility for ensuring that an effective

system of internal financial control is maintained and operated.

The system can only provide reasonable and not absolute

assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions authorised

and properly recorded, and that material errors or irregularities

are either prevented or would be detected in a timely period.

Key Control Procedures: The Board has put in place the following key internal

financial control procedures to ensure an appropriate control

environment exists:

• An organisation plan exists which defines and

allocates responsibilities to staff and identifies lines of

reporting for all aspects of the Board’s operations.

• Procedures and security measures exist to ensure the

safe custody of the Board’s assets and assurance

against unauthorised use or disposition.

• A strong culture of openness and accountability is

encouraged throughout the organisation.

The Board has also established processes to identify and

evaluate business risks:

• Identifying the nature, extent and financial

implication of risk facing the body including

the extent which it regards as acceptable in

different functions.

• Assessing the likelihood of identified risks occurring

and assessing the Board’s ability to manage and

mitigate the risks that do occur.

• Carrying out regular reviews of the Board’s strategic

plans to ensure that these plans address the current

business environment.

• Setting short and long term targets for each unit

within the Board and reviewing progress against same.

• Establishing and enforcing standard procedures

under which financial assistance may be made

available to projects and reviewing these procedures

where necessary.

The Board reviewed its business risks in 2010 and is currently

addressing any identified weaknesses.

The system of financial controls is based on a framework of

regular management information, administrative procedures

including segregation of duties, authorisation, and a system of

delegation and accountability. In particular it includes:

• A comprehensive budgeting system with an annual

budget which is reviewed and agreed by the Board.

• Regular reviews of periodic and annual financial

reports which indicate expenditure against forecasts.

• Setting targets to measure financial and

other performances.

The Board has also established an Audit Committee which

consists of representatives of the Board and the Executive with a

view to furtherance of internal controls.

Review of Internal Financial Control: The Board monitors the effectiveness of the system of internal

financial controls by regular management review and periodic

inspection and review studies by external consultants.

The Board carried out a review of its internal financial controls

for 2010.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AnD AuDITOR GEnERAL FOR PRESEnTATIOn TO THE HOuSES OF THE OIREACHTAS

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board I have audited the financial statements of the Irish Film Board

for the year ended 31 December 2010 under the Irish Film

Board Act 1980. The financial statements, which have been

prepared under the accounting policies set out therein, comprise

the Accounting Policies, the Capital Income and Expenditure

Account, the Administration Income and Expenditure Account,

the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses, the Balance

Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The

financial reporting framework that has been applied in their

preparation is applicable law and Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in Ireland.

Responsibilities of the Members of the BoardThe Irish Film Board is responsible for the preparation of the

financial statements, for ensuring that they give a true and fair

view of the state of the Board’s affairs and of its income and

expenditure, and for ensuring the regularity of transactions.

Responsibilities of the Comptroller and Auditor GeneralMy responsibility is to audit the financial statements and report

on them in accordance with applicable law.

My audit is conducted by reference to the special considerations

which attach to State Bodies in relation to their management and

operation.

My audit is carried out in accordance with the International

Standards on Auditing (uK and Ireland) and in compliance with

the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of Audit of the Financial StatementsAn audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and

disclosures in the financial statements, sufficient to give

reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from

material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This

includes an assessment of:

• Whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the

Board’s circumstances, and have been consistently applied

and adequately disclosed

• The reasonableness of significant accounting estimates

made in preparation for the financial statements

• The overall presentation of the financial statements

I also seek to obtain evidence about the regularity of financial

transactions in the course of the audit.

In addition, I read all the financial and non-financial information

in the Annual Report to identifiy material inconsistencies with the

audited financial statements. If I become aware of any apparent

material misstatements or inconsistencies I consider the

implications for my report.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

In my opinion, the financial statements, which have been properly

prepared in accordance wiith the Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in Ireland, give a true and fair view of the state of the

Board’s affairs at 31 December 2010 and of its income and

expenditure for the year then ended.

In my opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the

Board. The financial statements are in agreement with the books

of account.

Matters on which I report by exceptionI report by exception if:

• I have not received all the information and explanations

I required for my audit, or

• My audit noted any material instance where moneys have

not been applied for the purposes intended or where the

transations did not conform to the authorities governing

them, or

• the information given in the Board’s Annual Report for the

year for which the financial statements are prepared is not

consistent with the financial statements, or

• the statement of Internal FInancial Control does not reflect

the Board’s compliance with the Code of Practice for the

Governance of State Bodies, or

• I find there are other material matters relating to the manner

in which public business has been conducted

I have nothing to report in regard to those matters upon which

reporting is by exception.

ACCOunTInG POLICIES

A. Basis of AccountingThe financial statements consist of two Income and Expenditure

Accounts and a Balance Sheet.

• The Capital Income and Expenditure Account records the

disbursement of the Board’s development and production

loans and its contribution to Screen Training Ireland, the

national training agency for the film industry in Ireland.

• The Administration Income and Expenditure Account records

the administrative transactions in respect of the Board.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical

cost convention and in accordance with Generally Accepted

Accounting Practice (GAAP) on an accruals basis except as

stated below. Financial Reporting Standards recommended

by the recognised accounting bodies are adopted as they

become applicable.

B. IncomeIncome shown in the financial statements under Oireachtas

Grants represents the actual cash received. Other income is also

taken to account on a cash receipts basis.

C. LoansProduction loans are made by the Board to assist in the

production of films. Repayments and returns are dependent

upon the commercial success of the related films.

Development loans are made to filmmakers for the purpose

of developing film projects. Repayments become payable in

accordance with the terms of the loan agreements.

These loans are not normally subject to interest charges, but

include measures for recoupment and profit participation.

Loans are reviewed by the Board on a periodic basis and

appropriate provision is made against loans outstanding, based

upon the historical performance of the Board’s loanbook. The

provision is accounted for through the Capital Reserve.

D. Capital ReserveThe Capital Reserve represents the funding invested in

films and Fixed Assets after provisions and amortisation.

E. Tangible Fixed AssetsTangible Fixed Assets are shown at original historical cost.

Assets over €250 are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the original

cost less the estimated residual value of each asset on a straight-

line basis over its expected useful life. The rates of depreciation

are as follows:

• Office Furniture and Equipment 20% per annum

• Computer Equipment 33% per annum

F. Pension CostsThe Board operates a defined benefit pension scheme which is

funded annually on a pay as you go basis from monies available

to it, including monies provided by the Department of Tourism,

Culture and Sport. The Scheme is operated on an administrative

basis pending approval of the Minister of Finance.

Pension Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis

using the projected unit method.

Pension costs reflect pension benefits earned by employees in

the period and are shown net of staff pension contributions which

are treated as refundable to the Department in accordance with

agency financing arrangements. An amount corresponding to the

pension charge is recognised as income to the extent that it is

recoverable and offset by grants received in the year to discharge

pension payments.

Actuarial gains or losses arising from changes in Actuarial

assumptions and from experience surpluses and deficits are

recognised in the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses

for the year in which they occur and a corresponding adjustment

is recognised in the amount recoverable from the Department of

Tourism, Culture and Sport.

Pension Liabilities represent the present value of future pension

payments earned by staff to date. Deferred pension funding

represents the corresponding asset to be recovered in future

periods from the Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

G. Foreign Exchange PolicyTransactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to

the respective functional currencies at exchange rates at the dates

of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated

in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the

functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Any gain or

loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the

date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in

the Income Statement.

c. Deferred Funding for PensionsThe Board recognises these amounts as an asset corresponding to the unfunded deferred liability for pensions on the basis of the set of assumptions described above and a number of past events. These events include the statutory backing for the establishment of the pension scheme, and the policy and practice in relation to funding public service pensions including contributions by employees and the annual estimates process. The Board has no evidence that this funding policy will not continue to meet such sums in accordance with current practice.

The Net Deferred Funding for Pensions recognised in Income and Expenditure Account was as follows:

2010 2009 I I

Funding Recoverable in Respect of Current Year Pension Costs 351,461 346,494State Grant Applied to Pay Pensioners - -

Total 351,461 346,494

The deferred funding asset for pensions as at 31 December 2010 amounted to €2,188,000 (€2,002,199 in 2009)

e. General Description of the SchemeThe pension scheme is a defined benefit final salary pension arrangement with benefits and contributions defined by reference to current “model” public sector scheme regulations. The scheme provides a pension (eightieths per year of service), a gratuity or lump sum (three eightieths per year of service) and spouse’s and children’s pensions. Normal retirement age is a member’s 65th birthday, and pre 2004 members have an entitlement to retire without actuarial reduction from age 60. Pensions in payment (and deferment) normally increases in line with general public sector salary inflation. The valuation used for FRS 17 (Revised) Disclosures has been based on a full actuarial valuation at each date performed by an independent qualified actuary to take account of the requirements of FRS 17 in order to assess the scheme liabilities at 31 December 2010.

The Principal Actuarial Assumptions were as follows: 31/12/2010 31/12/2009 31/12/2008 31/12/2007Rate of increase in salaries 3.50% 3.50% 3.50% 4.00%Rate of increase in pension payment 3.50% 3.50% 3.50% 4.00%Discount Rate 4.00% 4.30% 4.00% 4.75%Inflation 2.00% 2.00% 2.00% 2.50%

The mortality basis adopted allows for improvements in life expectancy over time, so that life expectancy at retirement will depend on the year in which a member attains retirement age (age 65).

The mortality rates adopted are as follows:

Life Expectancy for Male aged 65 21.8 yearsLife Expectancy for Female aged 65 23.4 yearsLife Expectancy for Male aged 45 Now (from 65) 24.1 yearsLife Expectancy for Female aged 45 Now (from 65) 25.5 years

DETAILS OF LOAn COnDITIOnS

(a) Development Funds

Development Loans are advanced on a phased payment basis with approximately 50-60% paid on satisfactory execution of

Development Loan contracts between the Board and the Producer, the balance being paid upon compliance with specific

conditions outlined by the Board.

Loans for development are up to a maximum of €100,000, €50,000 at any one time. Teams or individuals (producer/

director/script-writer) may apply. The Producer is obliged to repay the Advance to the Board on the first day of principal

photography.

These should be seen as development/ feasibility loans; the Board makes every effort to track these monies and provides

information and support for independent producers seeking other potential production partners. Some of the projects

receiving development loans from the Board will not proceed into production and may eventually have to be written off.

However, all projects which are successfully brought to fruition, are closely monitored by the Board and collection of

monies due is actively pursued.

(b) Production Loans

The Board’s involvement takes the form of investment in the production and in its sales for cinema, television, video and

ancillary markets (cable, satellite, home box-office etc.) both in Ireland and worldwide. The investment is not subject to

interest; rigorous measures for recoupment and profit participation are applied. All offers of investment are ‘in principle’

and subject to contract.

PRInCIPLES & CRITERIA

BSÉ/IFB’s funding programmes are guided by some

fundamental principles which form the basis of its decision-

making criteria. The principles are:

• Additionality

• Cultural Priorities, Industrial Priorities

• Making Cinema

• Originality

These are explained in more detail below. Thereafter we set out

some further considerations that may influence a decision in

favour of one project over another.

AdditionalityAn essential rationale for making public money available to

an industry is that it should create activity that would not

otherwise occur, i.e. that the market, left to itself, would not

engender. It follows that films backed by BSÉ/IFB should be

films that will not be made, or will not be made with the same

level of benefit to Ireland, unless enabled to do so with the

support of the agency. Such films, and the benefits that flow

from them, will represent ‘additional’ economic activity.

The procedures for considering submissions for production

funding are intended to ensure more effectively that the

extent of BSÉ/IFB’s involvement in a project really reflects

the extent to which its involvement is needed: specifically,

that the level of BSÉ/IFB’s investment is what is required to

complete a film’s financing and no more. Clearly this is hard

to police with absolute accuracy, given the nature of film

financing negotiations, but the principle holds good and will

be closely observed.

The aim to fund films that are ‘additional’ will also affect

BSÉ/IFB’s preferences in seeking out projects to support.

Additionality implies making a difference, and BSÉ/IFB will

tend to be drawn towards supporting projects that appear to

be of high quality but tangibly distinct and different from films

available in the mainstream marketplace. This does not mean

that BSÉ/IFB is interested only in supporting ‘un-commercial’

material. On the contrary, there is a wealth of cinema history

evidence to show that the big hits are frequently ground-

breaking, left-field surprises. The market appears to need

regular refreshment. BSÉ/IFB will give energetic backing to

producers who display an ambition to achieve market success

– with projects that display an awareness of the market, but not

a prostration to it.

Cultural Priorities, Industrial PrioritiesConsistent with its government remit, and responding to the

present perceived needs of the Irish film industry, BSÉ/IFB

considers that certain projects, in terms of their content,

provenance or benefit to the industry, represent clear priorities

for its funding as against others.

Strong preference will be given to submissions on behalf of

projects which:

• Are of ‘Irish initiation’ in a creative sense; that is,

conceived, written and to be directed by Irish talents

• Tell Irish stories, drawing on and depicting Ireland’s

culture, history, way of life, view of the world and of itself

• Entail new Irish filmmaking talent in key creative roles,

i.e. director, writer, producer, composer, principal actor

Serious attention will also be paid to submissions which:

• Propose a strongly Irish project (in terms of setting,

characters, etc) that is to be directed by a non-Irish talent,

where BSÉ/IFB regards the director’s track-record as an

assurance of quality

• Involve an Irish producer as minority co-producer of a film,

where (a) BSÉ/IFB is convinced of the quality of the project,

(b) the amount of BSÉ/IFB’s investment corresponds to the

level of involvement of Irish personnel, elements and

facilities in the project, and (c) a commitment is in place by

the majority co-producer to reciprocate by acting as

minority co-producer of a future Irish film

Submissions on behalf of films to be made predominantly in

the Irish language will continue to be particularly welcomed by

BSÉ/IFB.

BSÉ/IFB will always be vigilant in ensuring that films in which

it invests entail a high volume of expenditure on Irish personnel

and in the Irish industry, and this aspect of a submission is

likely to play a material part in a positive decision.

GuNS, BEES AND TADPOLES IF THESE WALLS COuLD TALK

35

It will not in itself be a decisive factor, however, where BSÉ/IFB

is unconvinced by the quality of a project, or where the project

in other respects does not comply with any of the priorities

set out above. This is dealt with in more detail under Further

Considerations below.

Making CinemaA fundamental reason for BSÉ/IFB’s existence is to encourage,

sustain and promote work in Ireland that is made to be shown

on the big screen.

This has not prevented BSÉ/IFB from supporting work for which

the main exhibition outlet in practice is television. Moreover, to

the extent that this enables production companies to survive

and even thrive, and reflects a healthy and necessary synergy

between the cinema and television media, in a country the size

of Ireland it would be unrealistic for BSÉ/IFB to confine its

support to filmmaking for the cinema.

But, while continuing to respond positively to occasional

submissions on behalf of projects that are most likely to find

an audience on television, even including made-for-Tv films

and series, BSÉ/IFB will place somewhat greater emphasis

on its obligations towards cinema work and cinema talents

in the future.

In practice this will mean:

• Documentaries will be more rigorously assessed in

terms of their potential to achieve theatrical release or

stimulate interest from international film festivals.

Preference will be given to ‘feature documentaries’; films

aimed at a one-hour Tv slot or shorter, with little or no

international appeal, are likely to be supported only if

they are felt to be of an irresistible quality. Besides BSÉ/

IFB’s emphasis on cinema, this approach is also designed

to respond to the manifest increase in theatrical

audiences’ desire to see documentaries.

• Animation will be treated with more flexibility, in

recognition both of the growing importance of Irish work

in this field, and of the narrowness of the theatrical market

that exists for animated features. Preference will

nonetheless be given to original work from Irish talents

that appears to be sufficiently inventive and striking

to measure up to the big-screen format if an opportunity

becomes available.

• Television fiction, whether singles or series, will be

considered for its inherent quality but other factors will

also come into play. Strong emphasis will be placed on

backing directors (and, on occasions, writers) whose

careers to date clearly demonstrate an ability to make

cinema films, or who in the view of BSÉ/IFB are headed for

a career in cinema filmmaking. Further, BSÉ/IFB will need

to be convinced that its financial involvement is crucial to

the realisation of the programme and will expect to

contribute editorially to its content. Development support

by BSÉ/IFB for material specifically aimed at television

production will be forthcoming very rarely indeed.

OriginalityIn the interests of achieving distinction in the way in which

it utilises its resources, and consistent with the additionality

objectives already outlined, BSÉ/IFB will set considerable

store by originality in seeking out and selecting projects for

support. Artistic benefits apart, there is ample evidence that

in a market dominated by high-budget products, the films

that compete most effectively are those that offer audiences

something not seen before – in terms of controversial content,

provocative viewpoint, fresh humour, twisted genre, or new

depths of emotion.

This will lead BSÉ/IFB to favour directors (and writers) with

distinctive ‘voices’, whose work depicts a strongly individual

view of the world, portrays life in such a way as to give it new

meaning, holds a mirror up to aspects of nature that more

conventional filmmakers avoid or fail to notice. BSÉ/IFB is

concerned to back films that reach as wide an audience as

possible, and expects filmmakers to demonstrate a similar

ambition. At the same time it recognises that box-office success

eludes many. Whether a film succeeds or fails, BSÉ/IFB

believes that expenditure of public money can be vigorously

defended if the film has something original to say, something

original to add to the mass of world cinema.

Further ConsiderationsThe guiding principles described above should serve to give

applicants insight into the way in which BSÉ/IFB’s executives

and advisors will assess a project from the point of view of its

content and the creative team involved. In assessing production

funding applications, other factors may come into play,

concerning the economic effects of the project, the financial

arrangements, and the prospects of reaching audiences.

Where BSÉ/IFB does not consider that a project adheres to

any of the guiding principles, these other factors will not in

themselves be sufficient to secure an offer of funding. But,

in the case of a project where content and creative team are

seen as persuasive, the following considerations may affect

negotiations between BSÉ/IFB and the filmmakers as to the

level of BSÉ/IFB’s investment and the way in which the film

will be financed, produced and distributed:

• Track record of the producer

• Has the producer managed and delivered films in a

professional and efficient manner before?

• Has BSÉ/IFB had good previous experience of dealing

with the producer?

• In a co-production, do any non-Irish producers involved

have good professional track records?

• Irish employment

• Are key creative and technical positions to be filled

by Irish personnel?

• In a co-production, is the proportion of these

appropriate?

• Will the production offer employment to Irish personnel

across all possible grades?

• Spend in the Irish economy

• Will the film be shot in Ireland?

• Will the production make extensive use of Irish

production and post-production facilities?

• Will the project attract inward investment into the

Irish economy?

• Sales and Distribution

• Is an international sales agent attached to the film?

• Does the film have an Irish distributor?

• Are any distributors or broadcasters providing

production finance?

• Financial structure

• Are the proposed co-financiers of the film reliable?

• Will the proposed financing arrangements allow BSÉ/

IFB to negotiate a reasonable recoupment position?

• Will there be reasonable transparency of accounting

with regard to sales revenues, e.g. by use of a collection

agent?

It should be emphasised that for a project to be offered

production funding it is not necessary for all these questions

to be answered affirmatively. But negative answers to a

high proportion of them could undermine a strongly positive

disposition on the part of BSÉ/IFB towards the creative

aspects of a project. At the very least, a mix of affirmative and

negative answers will provoke discussion as to the extent and

manner of BSÉ/IFB’s commitment.

variant CriteriaSome BSÉ/IFB funding programmes have specific criteria of

their own and are not necessarily governed by the principles

set out above:

• Multiple Project Development (MPD)

Although the guiding principles are applied to assessment

of the slates of projects proposed, the MPD programme

carries its own additional criteria which should be checked

before an application is made.

• International Production

This programme, although subject in broad terms to

BSÉ/IFB’s normal cultural criteria, is more industrially

driven than creatively driven. Provided that the principal

producer has a good track record, and the creative package

appears plausible, assessment by BSÉ/IFB will be based

primarily on consideration of the economic ‘multiplier’

effect of its funding, and of the opportunities for Irish

personnel to be employed in key positions.

• Regional Support

This programme has an exclusively economic remit. To

be eligible, a project must already be in receipt of BSÉ/

IFB production funding, and no further creative judgment

is applied. An assessment is made of the amount of

the production budget to be spent in Ireland outside the

metropolitan and adjacent area; this must be at least twice

the amount of funding requested.

• Documenting the Arts

There are guidelines specific to this programme, as

drawn up with the Arts Council which oversees the

selection procedure.

• Distribution

The Print Provision programme functions on an automatic

basis, whereby films become eligible for support if selected

for one of a list of approved festivals, subject to agreement

with BSÉ/IFB as to the level of funding. Prints & Advertising

funding is provided to Irish distributors of BSÉ/IFB-backed

films who demonstrate that support from BSÉ/IFB will

enhance the promotion of a film in the Irish market.

RÁITEAS MAIDIR LE DuALGAIS CHOMHALTAí BOIRD

Éilítear in Alt 20 (1) d’Acht um Bord Scannán na hÉireann 1980 go n-ullmhóidh comhaltaí an Bhoird Ráitis Airgeadais i

bhfoirm a d’fhéadfadh an tAire Turasóireachta, Cultúir agus Spóirt a cheadú, le toiliú ón Aire Airgeadais. Nuair a bheidh

na Ráitis Airgeadais sin á n-ullmhú aige, tá ceanglas ar an mBord:

• Beartais oiriúnacha a roghnú agus ansin iad a chur i bhfeidhm go comhsheasmhach.

• Breithiúnais agus meastacháin a dhéanamh atá réasúnta agus stuama.

• Na Ráitis Airgeadais a ullmhú ar bhonn gnóthais leantaigh ach amháin i gcás nach bhfuil sé cuí glacadh leis go

leanfaidh an Bord ag feidhmiú.

• A chur in iúl gur cloíodh le caighdeáin chuntasaíochta infheidhme faoi réir aon difríochtaí ábhartha a nochtadh agus a

míníodh sna ráitis airgeadais.

Tá an Bord freagrach as leabhair chearta cuntasaíochta a choinneáil a nochtaíonn le cruinneas réasúnta staid airgeadais

an Bhoird ag am ar bith. Tá sé freagrach as cibé bearta is gá a chur i bhfeidhm chun sócmhainní Bhord Scannán na

hÉireann a chosaint agus le calaois agus mírialtachtaí eile a chosc agus a aimsiú.

SEASIDE STORIES

RÁITEAS MAIDIR LE RIALÚ InMHEÁnACH AIRGEADAIS

Admhaímse leis seo, thar ceann Bhord Scannán na hÉireann/

the Irish Film Board, go bhfuil freagracht orainn a chinntiú go

gcoinnítear agus go bhfeidhmítear córas éifeachtach i dtaca le

rialú inmheánach airgeadais.

Ní féidir leis an gcóras ach deimhniú réasúnta agus ní dearbh-

dheimhniú iomlán a thabhairt go gcosnaítear sócmhainní, go

mbíonn idirbhearta údaraithe agus taifeadta mar is cuí, agus

go gcuirfear cosc le hearráidí nó mírialtachtaí ábhartha nó go

n-aimseofar iad go tráthúil.

na Príomhnósanna Imeachta i dtaca le Rialú: Tá na príomhnósanna imeachta seo a leanas maidir le rialú

inmheánach airgeadais curtha i bhfeidhm ag an mBord chun

timpeallacht chuí a chinntiú i dtaca le rialú:

• Tá plean eagraíochta i bhfeidhm a shainmhíníonn agus a

leithdháileann freagrachtaí ar an bhfoireann agus a

aithníonn línte maidir le tuairisciú i dtaobh gach gné

d’oibríochtaí an Bhoird.

• Tá nósanna imeachta agus bearta slándála i bhfeidhm

lena chinntiú go gcosnaítear sócmhainní an Bhoird

agus le dearbh-dheimhniú in aghaidh úsáid nó diúscairt

neamhúdaraithe a chinntiú.

• Moltar cultúr láidir follasachta agus freagrachta ar fud

na heagraíochta.

Tá próisis bunaithe ag an mBord chomh maith chun rioscaí gnó

a aithint agus meastóireacht a dhéanamh orthu trí:

• Nádúr, méid agus impleachtí airgeadais an riosca atá roimh

an gcomhlacht a aithint, lena n-áirítear an méid a cheaptar

a bheith inghlactha maidir le feidhmeanna éagsúla.

• Measúnú a dhéanamh ar an ndóchúlacht go dtarlóidh rioscaí

aitheanta agus measúnú a dhéanamh ar chumas an Bhoird

na rioscaí a tharlaíonn a bhainistiú agus a mhaolú.

• Athbhreithnithe rialta a dhéanamh ar phleananna

straitéiseacha an Bhoird lena chinntiú go dtugann na

pleananna sin aghaidh ar an dtimpeallacht reatha gnó.

• Spriocanna gearrthéarmacha agus fadtéarmacha a leagadh

síos do gach Aonad laistigh den Bhord agus athbhreithniú a

dhéanamh ar a ndul chun cinn i dtaca leis na spriocanna sin.

• Nósanna imeachta caighdeánacha faoinar féidir cúnamh

airgeadais a chur ar fáil do thionscadail a bhunú agus a

fhorfheidhmiú agus na nósanna imeachta sin a athbhreithniú

de réir mar is gá.

Rinne an Bord athbhreithniú ar a chuid rioscaí gnó i 2010

agus tá aghaidh á thabhairt aige faoi láthair ar aon laigeachtaí

a aithníódh.

Tá an córas rialaithe airgeadais bunaithe ar chreat oibre

d’fhaisnéis rialta bainistíochta, ar nósanna imeachta riaracháin

lena n-áirítear deighilt dualgas, údarú agus córas tarmligin agus

freagrachta. áirítear air sin, go háirithe:

• Córas cuimsitheach maidir le buiséadú lena bhfuil buiséad

bliantúil i gceist a dhéanann an Bord iad a athbhreithniú

agus a chomhaontú.

• Athbhreithnithe rialta ar thuarascálacha tréimhsiúla agus

bliantúla a léiríonn caiteachas i gcomparáid le réamhaisnéis.

• Spriocanna a shocrú chun feidhmíocht airgeadais agus

feidhmíocht eile a thomhas.

Tá Coiste Iniúchta bunaithe chomh maith ag an mBord atá

comhdhéanta d’ionadaithe ón mBord agus ón bhFheidhmeannas

agus é mar sprioc ag an gCoiste sin rialúcháin inmheánacha a

neartú.

Athbhreithniú i dtaca le Rialú Inmheánach Airgeadais: Déanann an Bord monatóireacht ar éifeachtúlachtacht an

chórais rialaithe inmheánaigh airgeadais trí athbhreithniú

bainistíochta agus iniúchadh thréimhsiúil a dhéanamh agus

trí staidéir a dhéanamh ar athbhreithnithe le comhairleoirí

seachtracha. Tá athbhreithniú déanta ag an mBord ar a chuid

rialuithe inmheánacha airgeadais don bhliain 2010.

THE YELLOW BITTERN - THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LIAM CLANCY

ARD-REACHTAIRE CunTAS AGuS CISTETuARASCÁIL LE CuR FAOI BHRÁID TITHE An OIREACHTAIS

Bord Scannán na hÉireannTá ráitis airgeadais Bhord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film

Board don bhliain dar críoch 31 Nollaig 2010 iniúchta agam de

réir Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla 2003. Tá na ráitis airgeadais,

a ullmhaíodh faoi na beartais chuntasaíochta arna leagan

amach sna ráitis, comhdhéanta den Ráiteas faoi Beartais

Chuntasaíochta, an Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais, an Clár

Comhardaithe agus na nótaí gaolmhara. Is é an creat thuairisciú

airgeadais a cuireadh i bhfeidhm chun iad a ullmhú ná an dlí a

bhaineann agus na Cleachtais Chuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leo go

Coitianta in Éirinn.

Freagrachtaí Chomhaltaí an Bhoird Tá an Bord freagrach as na ráitis airgeadais a ullmhú, as a

chinntiú go dtugann siad léargas fíor agus cothrom maidir leis

an riocht ghóthaí Oifig Choimisinéir na dTeangacha Oifigiúla agus

ar a ioncam agus a chaiteachas, agus as rialtacht a n-idirbhearta

a chinntiú.

Freagrachtaí an Ard-Reachtaire Cuntas agus CisteIs é mo fhreagrachtsa na ráitis airgeadais a iniúchadh agus

tuairisciú a dhéanamh orthu i gcomhréir leis an dlí a bhaineann.

Déantar m’iniúchadh faoi réir na gcúrsaí speisialta a bhaineann

le comhlachtaí Stáit ó thaobh a mbainistiú agus a bhfeidhmiú de.

Déantar m’iniúchadh i gcomhréir le Caighdeáin Chuntasaíochta

Idirnáisiúnta (Ríocht Aontaithe agus Éire) agus de réir Caighdeán

Eiticiúla d’Iniúchóirí de chuid an Bhoird um Chleachtais

Iniúchóireachta.

Scóip an Iniúchta ar Ráitis AirgeadaisIs éard atá i gceist le hiniúchadh ná faisnéis a fháil maidir leis

na suimeanna agus na nochtuithe sna ráitis airgeadais, ar leor

iad chun urrús réasúnta a thabhairt go bhfuil na ráitis airgeadais

saor ó mhí-ráiteas ábhartha cibé calaois nó earráid is cúis leis

sin. Clúdaíonn sé seo measúnú faoi

• Cibé an bhfuil na beartais chuntasaíochta cuí do chúinsí an

Bhoird agus gur cuireadh i bhfeidhm iad go seasmhach agus

gur nochtaíodh iad go leormhaith

• Cé chomh réasúnta is a bhí na meastacháin chuntasaíochta

shuntasacha a rinneadh agus na ráitis airgeadais á n-ullmhú

• Thíolachadh foriomlán na ráiteas airgeadais.

Déanaim iarracht freisin fianaise a fháil le linn an iniúchta maidir

le rialtacht na n-idirbhearta airgeadais.

Ina theannta sin, léann mé an fhaisnéis airgeadais agus

neamh-airgeadais sa dTuarascáil Bhliantúil le neamhréireachtaí

ábharacha maidir leis na ráitis iniúchta airgeadais a aithint.

Sa chás go dtagaim ar aon eolas i dtaobh aon mhíráiteas

ábharach dealraitheach déanaim na himpleachtaí do mo

thuarascáil a mheas.

Tuairim faoi na Ráitis AirgeadaisIs é mo thuairim, go dtugann na ráitis airgeadais, a ullmhaíodh

go cuí i gcomhréir le Cleachtais Cuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leis

go Coitianta in Éirinn, léargas fíor agus cothrom maidir leis an

riocht ghnóthaí Oifig Choimisinéir na dTeangacha Oifigiúla ag 31

Nollaig 2010 agus ar a ioncam agus ar a chaiteachas don bhliain

dar críoch sin.

Is é mo thuairim, gur choimeád Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the

Irish Film Board leabhair chuntais chuí. Tá na ráitis airgeadais ag

teacht leis na leabhair chuntais.

nithe a Tuairiscím le hEisceachtTuairiscím le heisceacht i gcás:

• Nach bhfuair mé an fhaisnéis agus na mínithe go léir a bhí de

dhíth orm le haghaidh m’iniúchta, nó

• Gur nótáladh san iniúchadh aon chás ábhartha nuair nár

úsáideadh suimeanna airgid chun na feidhmeanna a bhí

beartaithe dóibh nó nach ndearnadh na hidirbhearta de réir

na n-údarás a rialaíonn iad, nó

• Nach bhfuil an fhaisnéis a tugadh i dTuarascáil Bhliantúil an

Bhoird don bhliain ar ullmhaíodh na ráitis airgeadais dóibh

i gcomhréir leis na ráitis airgeadais, nó

• Nach léiríonn an Ráiteas um Rialú Inmheánach Airgeadais

go gcomhlíonann an Bord an Cód Cleachtais maidir le

Rialachas ar Chomhlachtaí Stáit, nó

• Go bhfaighim amach go bhfuil cúrsaí ábhartha eile ann a

bhaineann leis an gcaoi inar cuireadh gnó poiblí i gcrích.

Níl aon ní le tuairisciú agam maidir leis na cúrsaí sin faoina

ndéantar tuairisc le heisceacht.

BEARTAIS CHunTASAíOCHTA

A. Bunús na Cuntasaíochta áirítear leis na ráitis airgeadais dhá Chuntas Ioncaim agus

Caiteachais agus Clár Comhardaithe.

• Tugann an Cuntas Caipitil Ioncaim agus Caiteachais

taifead ar íocaíocht amach iasachtaí forbartha agus

léiriúcháin an Bhoird agus an ranníocaíocht le haghaidh

Screen Training Ireland, an ghníomhaireacht náisiúnta

oiliúna don tionscal scannáin in Éirinn.

• Tugann an Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais Riaracháin

taifead ar na hidirbhearta riaracháin i ndáil leis an mBord.

ullmhaíodh na ráitis airgeadais de réir choinbhinsiún an chostais

stairiúil agus de réir an Chleachtais Cuntasaíochta a bhfuil Glacadh

Leis (GAAP) ar bhonn fabhraithe ach amháin mar a luaitear thíos.

Glactar le Caighdeáin i dtaca le Tuairisciú Airgeadais a mholann

comhlachtaí cuntasaíochta de réir mar a thagann siad i bhfeidhm.

B. IoncamLéiríonn an t-ioncam a thaispeántar sna ráitis airgeadais faoi

Dheontais Oireachtais an t-airgead iarbhír a fuarthas. Cuirtear

ioncam eile san áireamh ar bhonn fáltas airgid.

C. IasachtaíCuireann an Bord iasachtaí léiriúcháin ar fáil chun cabhrú le

scannáin a léiriú. Braitheann aisíocaíochtaí agus aischuir ar rath

tráchtála na scannán lena mbaineann.

Tugtar iasachtaí forbartha do dhéantóirí scannán d’fhonn tionscadail

scannán a fhorbairt. Bíonn aisíocaíochtaí iníoctha de réir théarmaí

na gcomhaontuithe iasachta.

Go hiondúil ní bhíonn na hiasachtaí sin faoi réir mhuirir úis, ach

bíonn bearta aisghabháilte agus rannpháirtíocht brabúis san

áireamh leo.

Déanann an Bord athbhreithniú ar iasachtaí ar bhonn tréimhsiúil

agus déantar soláthar cuí i gcoinne iasachtaí gan aisíoc, bunaithe

ar fheidhmíocht stairiúil leabhar iasachta an Bhoird. Déantar an

soláthar a chuntasú tríd an gCúlchiste Caipitil.

D. Cúlchiste Caipitil Léiríonn an Cúlchiste Caipitil an maoiniú a infheistítear i Scannáin

agus i Sócmhainní Seasta tar éis soláthar agus amúchadh.

E. Sócmhainní Seasta Inláimhsithe Léirítear Sócmhainní Dochta Inláimhsithe ar a gcéad chostas

stairiúil. Déantar caipitliú ar shócmhainní atá de bhreis ar €250.

Cuirtear dímheas san áireamh ar rátaí a ríomhtar chun an

chéad chostas a dhíscríobh lúide luach iarmharach measta gach

sócmhainne faoin modh dronlíneach thar a saol úsáideach measta.

Is mar seo a leanas atá na rátaí dímheasa:

• Troscán agus Trealamh Oifige 20% sa bhliain

• Trealamh Ríomhaireachta 33% sa bhliain

F. Costais Pinsean Tá scéim pinsean le sochair sainithe i bhfeidhm ag an mBord a

mhaoinítear go bliantúil ar bhonn íoc mar a thuillear as airgead

atá ar fáil dó, lena n-áirítear airgead a sholáthraíonn an Roinn

Turasóireachta, Cultúir agus Spóirt. Tá an Scéim á feidhmiú ar

bhonn riaracháin ar feitheamh faomhadh ón Aire Airgeadais.

Ríomhtar dliteanais na Scéime Pinsean ar bhonn achtúireachta

agus modh chreidiúint réamh-mheasta an aonaid á úsáid.

Léiríonn costais pinsin na sochair a thuilleann fostaithe le linn

na tréimhse agus taispeántar iad glan ar ranníocaíochtaí pinsean

foirne a n-áirítear mar íocaíochtaí inaisíoctha leis an Roinn de réir

socruithe airgeadais gníomhaíochta. Aithnítear suim atá i

gcomhréir leis an muirear pinsin mar ioncam sa mhéid is go

bhfuil sé in-aisghabhála agus fritháirithe i gcoinne deontas a

bhfuarthas iad i rith na bliana le híocaíochtaí pinsin a dhéanamh.

Léirítear gnóthachain nó caillteanais achtúireacha a éiríonn as

athruithe ar thoimhdí Achtúireachta agus as gnóthachain agus

caillteanais ó thaithí sa Ráiteas Ghnóthachan agus Caillteanas

Aitheanta don bhliain ina dtarlaíonn siad agus aithnítear coigeartú

dá réir maidir leis an méid inaisghabháilte i dtréimhsí atá le

teacht ón Roinn Turasóireachta, Cultúir agus Spóirt.

Léiríonn dliteanais pinsin an luach atá faoi láthair ar íocaíochtaí

pinsean amach anseo atá tuillte ag an bhfoireann go dtí seo.

Léiríonn maoiniú pinsin iarchurtha an sócmhainn chomhréireach

a bheidh inaisghabháilte sa todchaí ón Roinn Turasóireachta,

Cultúir agus Spóirt.

G. Beartas maidir le hAirgeadra Eachtrach Aistrítear idirbhearta atá ainmnithe in airgeadra eachtrach go

dtí na hairgeadraí feidhmiúla faoi seach de réir na rátaí malairte

ar dhátaí na n-idirbhearta. Aistrítear sócmhainní agus dliteanais

airgeadaíochta atá ainmnithe in airgeadra eachtrach ar dháta a

dtuairiscithe go dtí an airgeadra feidhmiúil ar an ráta malairte

ar an dáta sin. Cuirtear san áireamh mar ghnóthachan nó mar

chaillteanas malairte sa Ráiteas Ioncaim aon ghnóthachan nó

caillteanas a éiríonn de bharr athruithe ar na rátaí malairte tar

éis dáta an idirbhearta.

6. Luach Saothair an Bhoird agus Fostaithe

I rith na bliana is mar seo a leanas a bhí meán-líon na bhfostaithe, an Príomhfheidhmeannach san áireamh:

2010 2009Príomhfheidhmeannach 1 1Fostaithe 15 15

Cuireadh pacáiste luach saothair an Phríomhfheidhmeannaigh don bhliain 2009 le chéile mar seo a leanas: Buntuarastal bliantúil: €110,844 (2009: €120,382). Ní théann teidlíochtaí pinsean an Phríomhfheidhmeannaigh níos faide ná na teidlíochtaí caighdeánacha i scéim aoisliúntais sochar sainithe na hearnála poiblí. Ní théann teidlíochtaí pinsean an Phríomhfheidhmeannaigh níos faide ná na teidlíochtaí caighdeánacha i scéim aoisliúntais sochar sainithe na hearnála poiblí. Tabhaíodh costais de €48,153 i dtaca leis an bPríomhfheidhmeannach agus áirítear iad sin sna catagóirí seo a leanas: cóiríocht, táillí aeir, muirir teileafóin póca, liúntais chothabhála, táillí tacsaí agus traenach. Chaith an Príomhfheidhmeannach 77 lá thar lear ar ghnó oifigiúil chun airgeadas idirnáisiúnta a thiomsú do shláta príomhscannán BSÉ/IFB, chun margaíocht a dhéanamh ar Éirinn mar shuíomh scannán agus le feasacht idirnáisiúnta i dtaobh scannán na hÉireann a chur chun cinn. Tá ceanglas ar an bPríomhfheidhmeannach chomh maith freastal ar líon fairsing cruinnithe i mBaile átha Cliath mar chuid dá dhualgas.

íocadh asbhaintí tobhaigh pinsean de €58,856 ó thuarastail foirne leis an Roinn Cultúir, Turasóireachta agus Spóirt sa bhliain 2010.

€8,978 a bhí mar tháille ag an gCathaoirleach agus fuair gach duine den tseisear comhalta boird €5, 978. íocadh costais de €9,330 le comhaltaí boird i rith na bliana. Bhain €4,358 de sin le taisteal thar lear agus bhain €4,972.46 le costais in Éirinn, costais óstán, costais taisteal agus costais cothabhála san áireamh.

9. Léas ar Áitribh

Tá gealltanais ag an mBord go dtí 2016 i dtaca lena oifig i nGaillimh ag Queensgate, 23 Bóthar na nDuganna. Tá costas bliantúil ar an léas sin de €76,350 móide CBL. Tá gealltanais ag an mBord freisin i dtaca lena chuid oifigí ag 14 -16 Sráid an Tiarna Éadbhard, Baile átha Cliath 2 ar chostas de €116,000 móide CBL in aghaidh na bliana.

c. Sócmhainn Maoiniúcháin Iarchurtha do Phinsin Aithníonn an Bord na suimeanna seo mar shócmhainn gurb ionann í agus an dliteanas iarchurtha neamh-mhaoinithe i dtaca le pinsin bunaithe ar an réimse bonn tuisceana a bhfuil cur síos deanta orthu thuas agus ar líon áirithe ócáidí a tharla cheana. I measc na n-ócáidí sin tá an bonn reachtúil leis an scéim pinsean a bhunú, agus an beartas agus an cleachtas maidir le pinsin seirbhíse poiblí a mhaoiniú lena n-áirítear ranníocaíochtaí fostaithe agus próiséas na meastachán bliantúla. Níl aon fhianaise ag an mBord nach leanfaidh an beartas maoiniúcháin sin ar aghaidh faoi chomhair na suimeanna sin de réir an chleachtais reatha.

Is mar seo a leanas a bhí an Maoiniú Iarchurtha le haghaidh Pinsean aitheanta sa Chuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais:

e. Cur Síos Ginearálta ar an Scéim Socrú pinsean tuarastail dheiridh sochar sainithe is ea an scéim pinsean le sochair agus ranníócaíochtaí a sainmhínítear iad trí thagairt a dhéanamh do na rialúcháin reatha i dtaca le scéimeanna ‘eiseamláracha’ don earnáil phoiblí. Soláthraíonn an scéim pinsean (ochtóidí do gach bliain seirbhíse), aisce nó cnapshuim (trí ochtóidí do gach bliain seirbhíse) agus pinsin do chéilí agus do leanaí. Go hiondúil is é an 65ú breithlá dáta scoir an bhaill agus tá teidlíocht ag baill a bhí sa scéim roimh 2004 scor ó aois 60 gan aon laghdú achtúireachta. Go hiondúil meadaíonn pinsin atá á n-íoc agus pinsin iarchurtha de réir boilsciú tuarastal ginearálta san earnáil phoiblí. Bunaíodh an luacháil a úsáideadh le haghaidh faisnéisithe FRS 17 (leasaithe) ar luacháil iomlán achtúireach a chuir achtúire neamhspleách i gcríoch ag cur riachtanas FRS 17 san áireamh chun measúnú a dhéanamh ar dhliteanais na scéime ar an 31 Nollaig 2010.

SOnRAí MAIDIR LE COInníOLLACHA IASACHTAí

(a) Iasachtaí Forbartha

Airleactar Iasachtaí Forbartha ar bhonn íocaíocht chéimithe agus íoctar tuairim is 50-60% nuair a chuirtear conarthaí

Iasachta Forbartha idir an Bord agus an Léiritheoir i gcríoch go sásúil, agus íoctar an iarmhéid nuair a chomhlíontar

coinníollacha sonracha a a mbeidh leagtha amach ag an mBord.

Is fiú suas go dtí uasmhéid de €100,000 iad iasachtaí forbartha, ar féidir suas go dtí €50,000 a íoc ag aon am áirithe faoi

leith. Is féidir le foirne nó le daoine aonair (léiritheoir/stiúrthóir/scríbhneoir scripte) iarratas a dhéanamh. Tá ceanglas ar

an léiritheoir an t-airgead a airleacadh a aisíoc ar an gcéad lá príomhscannánaíochta.

Ba chóir féachaint orthu seo mar iasachtaí forbartha/indéantachta; Déanann an Bord gach iarracht rianadh a dhéanamh

ar an t-airgead agus soláthraíonn sé faisnéis agus tacaíocht do léiritheoirí neamhspleácha a bhfuil comhpháirtithe

ionchais léiriúcháin á lorg acu. Ní éireoidh le cuid de na tionscadail a gheobhaidh tacaíocht ón mBord leanúint ar aghaidh

go dtí céim an léiriúcháin agus d’fhéadfadh sé tarlú i ndeireadh na dála go gcaithfear iad a dhíscríobh.

Déanann an Bord monatóireacht, áfach, ar na tionscadail a tugtar chun críche go rathúil agus éilítear éilítear go

gníomhach aon airgead atá dlite.

(b) Iasachtaí Léiriúcháin

Tagann rannpháirtíocht an Bhoird i bhfoirm infheistíochta sa léiriúchán agus ina chuid díolacháin do mhargaidh cineama,

teilifíse, físeáin agus margaidh coimhdeacha (cábla, saitilít, scannán baile etc.) in Éirinn agus ar fud an domhain. Níl an

infheistíocht faoi reir úis; cuirtear dian-bhearta i dtaca le haisghabháil agus rannpháirtíocht i mbrabús i bhfeidhm. Tá

gach tairiscint ar infheistíocht ‘i bprionsabal‘ agus faoi réir conartha.

AGuISín 4 PRIOnSABAIL AGuS CRITÉIR Tá roinnt bunphrionsabal atá mar bhonn ag a chritéir

cinnteoireachta cláir maoiniúcháin BSÉ/IFB. Tá na prionsabail

sin mar seo a leanas:

• Breisíocht

• Tosaíochtaí Cultúir/Tosaíochtaí Tionscail

• Cineama a Dhéanamh

• Úrnuacht

Mínítear iad sin thíos ar bhealach níos mionsonraithe. Ina

dhiaidh sin leagann muid amach roinnt comaoineacha eile

a d’fhéadfadh tionchara bheith acu ar chinneadh i bhfábhar

tionscadail amháin seachas ceann eile.

BreisíochtIs réasúnaíocht riachtanach í nuair a chuirtear airgead poiblí

ar fáil do thionscal gur chóir go gcruthódh sé gníomhaíocht

nach dtarlódh seachas sin i.e. nach nginfeadh an margadh é as

a stuaim féin. Dá réir sin ciallaíonn sé gur chóir gur scannáin

iad nach ndéanfaí iad nó scannáin nach mbeadh an sochar

céanna ag baint leo ó thaobh na hÉireann de, ach amháin i

gcás go gcuirfí ar a gcumas é sin a dhéanamh le tacaíocht ón

ngníomhaireacht, na scannáin sin a fhaigheann tacaíocht ó

BSÉ/IFB. Léireoidh scannáin den tsaghas sin, agus na sochair a

eascróidh uathu, gníomhaíocht eacnamaíochta ‘breise’.

Tá sé mar aidhm ag na nósanna imeachta i dtaca le breithniú

a dhéanamh ar iarratais ar mhaoiniú léiriúcháin a chinntiú

níos éifeachtúla i gcás go mbíonn BSE/IFB rannpháirteach

i dtionscadal go léiríonn sé go fíor a mhéid is go bhfuil a

rannpháirtíocht riachtanach: go sonrach, gurb é leibhéal

infheistíochta BSÉ/IFB an leibhéal atá riachtanach chun

maoiniú an scannáin a chur i gcríoch ach nach bhfuil an leibhéal

níós airde ná mar is gá. Gan amhras tá sé an-deacair póilíniú

a dhéanamh air sin le dearbh-chruinneas, ag cur san áireamh

nádúr na n-idirbheartaíochtaí a bhíonn da dhíth i dtaca le

hairgeadas scannán, ach seasann an prionsabal agus cloífear

go docht leis.

Beidh tionchar freisin ag an sprioc maoiniú a dhéanamh ar

scannáin a bhfuil ‘breisíocht’ ag baint leo ar thosaíochtaí

BSÉ/IFB agus tionscadail á lorg aige chun tacaíocht a thabhairt

dóibh. Tá sé i gceist le breisíocht go ndéanfaidh sé difríocht,

agu beidh claonadh i BSÉ/IFB luí i dtreo tionscadal a bhfuil an

chosúlacht orthu go bhfuil siad ar ardchaighdeán ach go bhfuil

sé inbhraite go bhfuil siad leithleach agus difriúil ó scannáin atá

ar fáil i bpríomhshruth an mhargaidh. Ní chiallaíonn sé sin nach

bhfuil spéis ag BSÉ/IFB ach i dtacaíócht a thabhairt d’ábhar

‘neamhthráchtála’. A mhalairt ar fad atá fíor, tá raidhse fianaise

ann i stair na scannán a léiríonn gur minic gur ábhar iontais,

ceannródaíochta agus imeallacha iad na móréachtaí cineama.

Is cosúil go mbíonn athnuachan rialta de dhíth ar an margadh.

Tabharfaidh BSÉ/IFB tacaíocht fhuinniúil do léiritheoirí a

thaispeánann go bhfuil uaillmhian acu rath a bhaint amach sa

mhargadh – le tionscadail a léiríonn feasacht maidir leis an

margadh ach nach bhfuil ró-umhal dó.

Tosaíochtaí Cultúir/Tosaíochtaí Tionscail De réir a chuid téarmaí tagartha ón Rialtas, agus ag freagairt

do na riachtanais a mbraitear atá ag tionscal na scannán

in Éirinn faoi láthair, tá BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go léiríonn

tionscadail áirithe, ó thaobh a n-ábhar, a bhfoinse nó a leas don

tionscal, tosaíochtaí soiléire dá mhaoiniúchán maoiniú seachas

tionscadail eile.

Tabharfar tosaíocht láidir d’iarratais ar son tionscadal:

• a ‘tionscnaíodh in Éirinn’ ó thaobh na cruthaitheachta de;

is é sin le rá gur cheap agus gur scríobh talainn Éireannacha

iad agus go stiúróidh talainn Éireannacha iad

• a insíonn scéalta Éireannacha, a tharraingíonn as agus a

léiríonn cultúr, stair agus modh maireachtála na hÉireann

agus an chaoi a fhéachann muintir na hÉireann ar an saol

agus orthu féin

• a bhfuil sé i gceist leo go mbeidh talann scannánaíchta nua

Éireannach sna príomhróil chruthaitheacha i.e. stiúrthóir,

scríbhneoir, léiritheoir, cumadóir, príomhaisteoir

Tabharfar aird dáiríre ar iarratais:

• a mholann tionscadal atá go soiléir Éireannach (ó thaobh

suímh, carachtar, etc. de) ach a bheidh á stiúradh ag

talann nach as Éireann é, i gcás go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB den

tuairim go gcinntíonn teist an stiúrthóra go dtí seo go mbeidh

ardchaighdeán ann

• a mbíonn léiritheoir Éireannach i gceist mar chomhléiritheoir

mionlaigh i gcás (a) go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB iomlán sásta maidir

le caighdeán an tionscadail, (b) go bhfuil an méid

infheistíochta ar chomhchéim leis an leibhéal

CORDuROY

rannpháirtíochta a bheidh ag pearsanra, gnéithe agus

saoráidí Éireannacha sa dtionscadal, agus (c) go bhfuil

gealltanas i bhfeidhm ag an gcomhléiritheoir tromlaigh go

ndéanfaidh sé comhalartú trí ghníomhú mar chomhstiúrthóir

mionlaigh ar scannán Éireannach sa todhchaí

Cuirfidh BSÉ/IFB fáilte faoi leith i gcónaí roimh iarratais ar son

scannán a bhfuil sé i gceist iad a dhéanamh go príomha trí mheán

na Gaeilge.

Beidh BSÉ/IFB airdeallach i gcónaí lena chinntiú i gcás scannán

a dhéanann sé infheistíocht iontu go ndéantar cuid mhór dá

gcaiteachas ar phearsanra Éireannach agus sa dtionscal in

Éirinn, agus tá sé dóchúil go mbeidh an gné sin den iarratas

an-thábhachtach maidir le cinneadh dearfach a dhéanamh. Ann

féin, áfach, ní bheidh sé ina thoisc chinntitheach, i gcás nach

bhfuil BSÉ/IFB cinnte dearfach maidir le caighdeán tionscadail,

nó i gcás nach comhlíonann an tionscadal aon cheann de na

tosaíochtaí leagtha amach thuas ar bhealaí eile. Tugtar níos mó

sonraí i dtaca leis an gceist sin faoi na Cúínsí Eile thíos.

Cineama a Dhéanamh Cúis bhunúsach go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB ar an tsaol is ea chun saothar

in Éirinn a dhéantar lena thaispeáint ar an scáileán mór a

spreagadh, a chothú agus a chur chun cinn.

Níl cosc curtha aige sin ar BSÉ/IFB ó thacaíocht a thabhairt do

shaothar gurb í an teilifís an príomh-mhargadh i bhfeidhm dó.

Thairis sin, sa mhéid is go gcuireann sé ar chumas chuideachtaí

léiriúcháin maireachtáil agus fiú amháin maireachtáil faoi bhláth,

agus go léiríonn sé sineirge atá folláin agus riachtanach idir na

mheán na teilifíse agus meán na scannán, bheadh sé míréadúil, i

dtír atá chomh beag le hÉireann, go dteorannódh BSÉ/IFB a gcuid

tacaíochta don scannánaíocht cineama amháin.

Mar sin féin, cé go leanfaidh BSÉ/IFB ar aghaidh ag freagairt go

dearfach i dtaca le hiarratais a fhaightear ó am go chéile ar son

tionscadal gurb é an dóchúlacht is mó ina dtaobh go bhfaighidh

siad lucht féachana teilifíse, agus fiú ag cur scannán agus

sraitheanna a dhéantar don dteilifís san áireamh, leagfaidh BSÉ/

IFB béim níos treise amach anseo ar a chuid oibligeáidí maidir le

saothar don cineama agus talainn cineama.

I bhfeidhm, ciallóidh sé sin:

• Go ndéanfar measúnú níos deine ar scannáin faisnéise ó

thaobh na hacmhainne atá acu chun eisiúint pictiúrlainne

a bhaint amach nó chun spéis ó fhéilte idirnáisiúnta scannán

a spreagadh. Tabharfar tús áite do ‘phríomhscannáin

faisnéise’; i gcás scannán atá dírithe ar shliotán teilifíse

atá uair an chloig nó níos giorra ar fhad agus nach bhfuil aon

tarraingt nó nach bhfuil ach tarraingt an-bheag acu, ní dócha

go dtabharfar tacaíocht dóibh ach amháin i gcás go meastar

go bhfuil caighdeán do-shéanta acu. I dteannta béim BSÉ/IFB

ar chúrsaí cineama, ceapadh an cur chuige seo chun

freagairt don mhéadú follasach ar an mian atá i measc lucht

féachana pictiúrlainne scannáin faisnéise a fheiceáil.

• Go léireofar níos mó solúbthachta i gcás scannán beochana,

mar aitheantas ar an méadú maidir le tábhacht an tsaothair

Éireannaigh sa réimse sin, agus cúinge an mhargaidh

idirnáisiúnta pictiúrlainne atá ann do phríomhscannáin

bheochana. Mar sin féin, tabharfar tús áite do shaothar

cruthaitheach ó thalainn Éireannacha a bhfuil an cuma air

go bhfuil sé cruthaitheach agus suntasach a dhóthain lena

chur in oiriúint d’fhormáid an mhórscáileáin ach an deis

chuige sin a bheith ann.

• Go ndéanfar ficsean teilifíse, cláracha aonair nó sraitheanna,

a bhreithniú dá chaighdeán bunúsach ach go gcuirfear tosca

eile san áireamh freisin. Cuirfear béim láidir ar thacaíocht a

thabhairt do stiúrthóirí (agus, ó am go chéile, do scríbhneoirí)

a dtaispeánann a dtaifead gairme go dtí seo go soiléir go

bhfuil an cumas iontu scannáin cineama a dhéanamh, nó go

bhfuil siad, i dtuairim BSÉ/IFB, ag dul i dtreo gairm bheatha

a bhaint amach sa scannánaíocht cineama. Ina theannta

sin, beidh sé riachtanach a chur ina luí ar BSÉ/IFB go bhfuil

a rannpháirtíocht airgeadais ríthábhachtach leis an gclár a

thabhairt chun críche agus beifear ag súil le rannpháirtíocht

eagarthóireachta maidir lena lánas. Ní bheidh tacaíocht

forbartha ó BSÉ/IFB d’ábhar atá dírithe go sonrach ar léirú

teilifíse ar fáil ach go hannamh ar fad.

ÚrnuachtAr mhaithe le sainiúlacht a bhaint amach sa tslí ina úsáideann

sé a chuid acmhainní, agus go comhsheasmhach maidir leis

na spriocanna breisíocht a bhfuil cur síos déanta orthu cheana

féin, tabharfaidh BSÉ/IFB aird shuntasach ar úrnuacht agus é

i mbun tionscadal a lorg agus a roghnú le tacaíocht a thabhairt

dóibh. Seachas na sochair ealaíonta, tá neart fianaise ann i gcás

margaidh a bhfuil an lámh in uachtar ag táirgí mórbhuiséid, gurb

iad na scannáin is éifeachtúla a theann san iomaíocht na cinn

sin a thairgíonn don lucht féachana rud éigin nach bhfaca siad

cheana, ó thaobh ábhair conspóide, dearcadh spreagúil, greann

úrnua, séanra lúbtha nó doimhneas úr mothúcháin de.

Cuirfidh sé sin BSÉ/IFB i dtreo tús áite a thabhairt do stiúrthóirí

(agus scríbhneoirí) a bhfuil ‘guthanna’ sainiúla acu, a léiríonn a

gcuid saothar dearcadh atá go láidir aonaránach maidir leis an

tsaol, a léiríonn cúrsaí an tsaoil ar bhealach a thugann brí nua

dóibh, a léiríonn gnéithe den nadúr a theipeann ar scannánóirí

níós gnásúla iad a thabhairt faoi deara nó a sheachnaíonn siad ar

fad iad. Tá sé mar chuspóir ag BSÉ/IFB tacaíocht a thabhairt do

scannáin a aimsíonn lucht féachana chomh leathan agus is féidir,

agus tá sé ag súil go léireoidh lucht deanta scannán an uaillmhian

chéanna. Ag an am céanna aithníonn sé nach n-éiríonn ach le

fíórbheagán daoine rath a bhaint amach ag an ndíoloifig. Cibé an

éiríonn le scannán nó má theipeann air, creideann BSÉ/IFB gur

féidir caiteachas airgid poiblí a chosaint go láidir matá rud éigin

úrnua le rá ag an scannán,rud éigin úrnua le cur le hiomlán an

cineama domhanda.

Cúinsí Eile Ba chóir go dtabharfadh na treoirphrionsabail atá leagtha

amach thuas léargas d’iarratasóirí ar an gcaoi a dhéanfaidh

feidhmeannaigh agus comhairleoirí BSÉ/IFB measúnú ar

thionscadal ó thaobh ábhair de agus ó thaobh na foirne

62 63

cruthaithigh a bhaineann leis. Agus measúnú á dhéanamh ar

iarratais ar mhaoiniú léiriucháin, d’fhéadfaí tosca eile a chur

san áireamh, a bhaineann le héifeachtaí eacnamaíochta an

tionscadail, na socruithe airgeadais, agus an t-ionchas go n-

aimseofar lucht féachana.

I gcás nach mbíonn BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go gcloíonn tionscadal

le haon cheann de na treoirphrionsabail, ní bheidh a ndóthain

sna tosca eile sin le tairiscint maoiniúcháin a bhaint amach.

Ach i gcás tionscadail ina meastar go bhfuil an t-ábhar agus an

fhoireann chruthaitheach áititheach, is féidir leis na cúinsí sin

tionchar a bheith acu ar idirbheartaíochtaí idir BSÉ/IFB agus

lucht déanta an scannáin maidir le leibhéal infheistíochta BSÉ/

IFB agus ar an gcaoi a dhéanfar an scannán a mhaoiniú, a léiriú

agus a dháileadh.

• Teist gairme an léiritheora go dtí seo

• An ndearna an léiritheoir bainistiú agus seachadadh

proifisiúnta agus éifeachtúil ar scannáin roimhe seo?

• An bhfuil dea-thaithí ag BSÉ/IFB roimhe seo maidir le

plé a dhéanamh leis an léiritheoir?

• I gcás comhléiriúcháin, an bhfuil teist gairme proifisiúnta

go dtí seo ag léiritheoiri nach léiritheoirí Éireannacha iad

a bhfuil baint acu leis an dtionscadal?

• Fostaíocht Éireannach

• An mbeidh na príomh-phostanna cruthaitheacha agus

teicniúla lena líonadh ag pearsanra Éireannach?

• I gcás comhléiriúcháin, an bhfuil an coimheas cuí i dtaca

leo sin?

• An dtairgeoidh an léiriúchán fostaíocht do phearsanra

Éireannach i ngach grád is féidir?

• Caiteachas i ngeilleagar na hÉireann

• An ndéanfar an scannánaíocht in Éirinn?

• An mbainfidh an léiriúchán feidhm fhairsing as saoráidí

léiriúcháin agus iar-léiriúcháin in Éirinn?

• An meallfaidh an tionscadal infheistiócht isteach

i ngeilleagar na hÉireann?

• Díolachán agus Dáileachán

• An bhfuil baint ag gníomhaire díolacháin idirnáisiúnta

leis an scannán?

• An bhfuil dáileoir Éireannach ag an scannán?

• An bhfuil airgeadas léiriúcháin á sholáthar ag aon

dáileoir nó craoltóir?

• Struchtúr Airgeadais

• An bhfuil na hairgeadaithe atá á moladh don scannán

iontaofa?

• An gcuirfidh na socruithe airgeadais atá a moladh ar

chumas BSÉ/IFB idirbheartaíocht a dhéanamh i dtaca

le seasamh réasúnach aisghabhála.

• An mbeidh follasacht reasúnach cuntasaíochta i gceist

maidir le hioncam díolacháin, e.g. trí ghníomhaire

bailiúcháin a úsáid?

Ba chóir a chur in iúl go soiléir nach bhfuil sé riachtanach

freagraí dearfacha a thabhairt ar na ceisteanna sin ar fad le go

dtairgeofaí maoiniú léiriúcháin do thionscadal. Ach d’fhéadfadh

sé tarlú go mabainfeadh coibheas ard de fhreagraí diúltacha

an bonn a bhaint de dhearcadh a bheadh go láidir dearfach

ó thaobh BSÉ/IFB de maidir le gnéithe cruthaitheacha den

tionscadal seachas sin. Ar a laghad ar fad, spreagfaidh meascán

de fhreagraí dearfacha agus diúltacha díospóireacht maidir le

méid agus modh ghealltanas BSÉ/IFB.

Critéir Athraitheacha Tá critéir sainiúla dá gcuid féin ag cuid de chláir maoiniúcháin

BSÉ/IFB agus ní gá go rialódh na prionsabail atá leagtha amach

thuas iad:

• Forbairt Ilthionscadal (MPD)

Cé go gcuirtear na treoirphrionsabail i bhfeidhm maidir le

measúnú a dhéanamh ar shlátaí na dtionscadal atá á moladh,

tá a chlár breise critéar féin ag an gclár MPD agus ba chóir

iad sin a iniúchadh sula gcuirtear isteach iarratas.

• Léiriúchán Idirnáisiúnta

Cé go bhfuil an clár seo i dtéarmaí ginearálta faoi réir

ghnáthchritéar cultúrtha BSÉ/IFB, luíónn sé níos mó i dtreo

an tionscail ná na cruthaitheachta. An fhad is go bhfuil

dea-theist gairme go dtí seo ag an bpríomhléiritheoir, agus go

bhfuil cuma sochreidthe ar an bpacáiste cruthaitheach,

bunófar measúnú BSÉ/IFB ar bhreithniú ar thionchar

‘iolraitheach’ eacnamaíochta a chuid maoiniúcháin, agus

ar na deiseanna fostaíochta do phearsanra Éireannach i

bpríomh-phostanna.

• Tacaíocht Réigiúnda

Tá téarmaí tagartha an chláir seo go heisiatach eacnamaíoch.

Lena bheith incháilithe, ní mór go mbeadh maoiniú léiriúcháin

BSÉ/IFB cheana féin ag tionscadal, agus ní chuirfear a

thuilleadh breithniú cruthaitheach i bhfeidhm. Déanfar

measúnú ar an méid den bhuiséad léiriúcháin atá le

caitheamh in Éirinn lasmuigh den limistéir uirbeach agus an

limistéir máguaird; ní mór go mbeadh ar a laghad a dhá

oiread i gceist leis an méid sin agus an méid maoiniúcháin

a éilítear.

• Doiciméadú ar na hEalaíona

Tá treoirlínte a bhaineann go sainiúl leis an gclár seo, a

tarraingíodh suas i gcomhar leis an gComhairle Ealaíon

a dhéanann maoirseacht ar an nós imeachta roghnúcháin.

• Dáileadh

Feidhmíonn an clár Soláthar Priontaí ar bhonn uathoibríoch,

trína mbíonn scannáin incháilithe le haghaidh tacaíochta i

gcás go roghnaítear iad d’fhéile amháin ar liosta na bhféilte

ceadaithe, faoi réir chomhaontú le BSÉ/IFB maidir le leibhéal

an mhaoiniúcháin. Cuirtear maoiniú le haghaidh Priontaí agus

Fógraíócht ar fáil do dháileoirí Éireannacha ar scannáin

a bhfuil tacaíocht faighte acu ó BSÉ/IFB a thaispeánann go

bhfeabhsóidh tacaíocht ó BSÉ/IFB cur chun cinn scannáin

i margadh na hÉireann.
