InTRODuCTIOn / HIGHLIGHTS
Throughout 2009, the Irish film industry received significant
recognition and acclaim at some of the worlds most renowned
festivals and industry awards.
Highlights include the A-list Toronto International Film
Festival, where a record eight Irish films were selected, two
Emmy awards (Dearbhla Walsh, director and Brendan Gleeson,
actor), two Golden Globe awards (Colin Farrell and Gabriel
Byrne), an Academy Award nomination for the IFB short film
New Boy, two awards at the Sundance Film Festival for Five
Minutes of Heaven and a Best Actor award at the Tribeca Film
Festival for Ciaran Hinds for his role in The Eclipse.
Irish animation talent was applauded as Tomm Moore was
awarded the Director of the Year prize while Cartoon Saloon
picked up the Producer of the Year prize at Cartoon Movie for
The Secret of Kells, meanwhile Brown Bag Films was named
European Producer of the Year at Cartoon Forum.
These selections, nominations and awards are a testament to
the high esteem in which Irish film and filmmaking talent are
held internationally and reinforces the industry’s reputation for
both creativity and professionalism.
FunDInG
In 2009 Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB)
received a 5.8% decrease in funding which meant the agency’s
budget decreased from €23.2 million in 2008 to €21.84 million
in 2009.
This funding together with improvements to Section 481, the
Irish tax incentive for film and television production, allowed
13 Irish features, five co-productions, three animations and
a dozen documentaries with theatrical ambitions to go into
production in the year.
Government funding, provided directly to the sector through
the IFB is a key component of the entire audiovisual content
industry. The 2010 budget for the IFB will ensure that the core
work of the agency to support the development and production
of indigenous film to be sustained at 2009 levels.
InITIATIvES
2009 saw the agency engaging in a number of projects such as
a strategic plan for the future of Ireland’s content production
industry, the ‘Give Me Direction’ Screen Writing Conference,
the PGA ‘Produced By’ Conference and the continued
development of the Art House Cinema Network.

RÉAMHRÁ/BuAICPHOInTí
I gcaitheamh na bliana 2009, bhain tionscal na scannán in Éirinn
amach aitheantas agus ardmholadh ag cuid de na searmanais
bhronnta gradam féiltí agus gradam tionscail is iomráití ar fud an
domhain.
I measc na mbuaicphointí bhí an mórfhéile, Féile Scannán
Idirnáisiúnta Toronto, ag ar roghnaíodh curiarracht d’ocht
scannán Éireannach, dhá ghradam Emmy (Dearbhla Walsh,
stiúrthóir agus Brendan Gleeson, aisteoir), dhá ghradam Golden
Globe (Colin Farrell agus Gabriel Byrne), ainmniúchán le
haghaidh Gradam Academy don ghearrscannán de chuid IFB New
Boy, dhá ghradam ag Féile Scannán Sundance do Five Minutes of
Heaven agus bhuaigh Ciaran Hinds gradam don Aisteoir is Fearr
ag Féile Scannán Tribeca dá ról sa scannán The Eclipse.
Tugadh moladh don chumas beochana in Éirinn nuair a bhuaigh
Tomm Moore an duais le haghaidh Stiúrthóir na Bliana agus nuair
a bhuaigh Cartoon Saloon an duais don Léiritheoir is Fearr le
haghaidh The Secret of Kells ag Cartoon Movie. Ainmníodh Brown
Bag Films mar Léiritheoir Eorpach na Bliana ag Cartoon Forum.
Cruthúnas is ea na roghnúcháin, na hainmniúcháin agus na
gradaim sin ar an ardmheas a léirítear go hidirnáisiúnta ar
scannáin agus ar scannánaíocht Éireannach agus cuireann sé le
clú an tionscail ó thaobh cruthaitheachta agus proifisiúntachta de.
MAOInIÚ
Sa bhliain 2009 fuair Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film
Board (IFB) laghdú de 5.8% ina chuid maoiniúcháin, rud a
chiallaigh gur tháinig laghdú ar bhuiséad na gníomhaireachta ó
€23.2 milliún sa bhliain 2008 go €21.84 milliún sa bhliain 2009.
Thug an maoiniú sin, i dteannta feabhsuithe i dtaca le hAlt 481,
an spreagadh atá in Éirinn le haghaidh léiriú scannáin agus
teilifíse, an deis chun léiriúchán a thosú ar thrí phríomhscannán
déag Éireannach, cúig comhléiriúchán, trí scannán beochana
agus dosaen scannán faisnéise, a bhfuil sé mar sprioc iad a
thaispeáint in amharclanna, i rith na bliana.
Tá maoiniú ón Rialtas, a sholáthraítear don earnáil go díreach tríd
an IFB, ina phríomhpháirt den tionscal lánais chlosamhairc ar
fad. Cinnteoidh buiséad an IFB don bhliain 2010 go gcoimeádfar
príomhshaothar na gníomhaireachta, ‘sé sin scannáin
dúchasacha a fhorbairt agus a léiriú, ag leibhéil na bliana 2009.
TIOnSCnAIMH
Sa bhliain 2009 ghabh an ghníomhaireacht i mbun líon áirithe
tionscadal ar nós plean straitéiseach do thodhchaí an tionscail
léiriú lánais in Éirinn, an Comhdháil Scriptscríobh ‘Give Me
Direction’, an Comhdháil PGA ‘Produced By’ agus forbairt
leanúnach ar an Líonra Cineama Sainealaíne.

CHERRYBOMB
Following the recommendations in the Report of Special Group
on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes (‘An
Bord Snip Nua’) for the abolition of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/
the Irish Film Board in 2009, a detailed examination of the
strategic importance of the Irish film and television sector was
carried out. This process resulted in a clear affirmation of the
economic importance of Ireland’s content production industries
in the context of the emerging Smart Economy in Ireland and the
key role the IFB plays in developing this sector.
The continuation of Section 481, the Irish tax incentive for
film and television will also further help to restore Ireland’s
competitive edge as a location for international film production,
generating economic activity well in excess of any cost incurred.
Strategic PlanFollowing from the results of the PwC report which recognised
significant economic growth potential for the industry, the
Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport engaged with the
IFB in 2009 and 2010 in a strategic plan to enable the domestic
audiovisual content production sector to develop into an
internationally traded sector for products and services, over a
five year period 2011 – 2016.
This growth potential of the audiovisual content industry, as an
essential component of the Smart Economy strategy, represents
strong prospects of employment for young people seeking jobs
in the future.
The industry supports an ecology that generates many other
indirect employment benefits arising out of production activities
around the country. The funding provided through the IFB in
turn allows Irish companies working within the sector to attract
additional international investment, which is spent on Irish jobs
and local services. The audio visual industry is an important
aspect of the Irish economy and has the potential to create
growth and jobs in the future.
Give Me Direction The inaugural ‘Give Me Direction’ Script Writing Conference
took place in Dublin which focused, through a mix of informal
discussions, sessions and screenings, on the art and science of
writing for the screen.
Attended by a mix of Irish and international guests it was an
opportunity to champion great and original writing for the
screen and to deepen the IFB’s engagement in addressing
industry concerns.
LA Trade Mission and the Producers Guild of America ‘Produced By’ ConferenceThe IFB led a delegation of Irish producers to Los Angeles to
meet uS producers and to promote improvements to S481 and
Ireland as a film location. The IFB delegation all attended the
inaugural ‘Produced By’ conference, hosted by the Producers
Guild of America at Sony Pictures Studios. The IFB took a booth
at the PGA event, under the Ireland on Screen banner, where IFB
staff and Irish producers met with delegates advocating Ireland
as an international film location.
Development of the Art House Cinema networkThe Cultural Cinema Consortium (CCC) is a joint initiative
between the IFB and the Arts Council with the aim to expand
out the audience for art house cinema. In 2008 this initiative
yielded results with the opening of the Light House Cinema in
Dublin while in 2009 construction of the new art house cinema in
Galway, Solas, began. By the end of 2009 eleven cinema screens
had been updated with digital equipment financed by CCC.
CRACKS
05
Tar éis na moltaí a rinneadh i dTuarascáil an Ghrúpa Speisialta
um Chlár Foirne agus Caiteachais na Seirbhíse Poiblí (‘An Bord
Snip Nua’) go gcuirfí deireadh le Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the
Irish Film Board i 2009, rinneadh iniúchadh mionsonraithe ar
thábhacht straitéiseach earnáil na scannán agus na teilifíse
in Éirinn. Dheimhnigh an próiseas sin go soiléir tábhacht
eacnamaíochta na dtionscal léiriú lánais i gcomhthéacs an
Gheilleagair Chliste atá ag teacht chun cinn inÉirinn agus
dheimhnigh sé an príomhról atá ag an IFB maidir leis an earnáil
sin a fhorbairt.
Cabhróidh leanúint Ailt 481, an spreagadh cánach i gcomhair
scannáin agus teilifíse, chun níos mó cabhrach a thabhairt chun
faobhar iomaíoch a thabhairt ar ais go hÉireann mar shuíomh
léiriúcháin le haghaidh scannán idirnáisiúnta, rud a ghinnfidh
gníomhaíocht eacnamaíóchta a bheidh i bhfad níós mó ná na
costais a tabhófar.
Plean StraitéiseachDe bharr thorthaí an tuarascála PwC a d’aithin go raibh acmhainn
thábhachtach chun fáis eacnamaíochta ag an dtionscal, chuaigh
an Roinn Turasóireachta, Cultúir agus Spóirt i gcomhpháirt leis
an IFB i rith 2009 agus 2010 i bplean straitéiseach lena chur ar
chumas an earnála inmheánaigh a raibh lánas closamhairc á
léiriú aici forbairt a dhéanamh mar earnáil a mbeadh trádáil
idirnáisiúnta aici dá cuid táirgí agus seirbhísí le linn tréimhse cúig
bliana ó 2011 go dtí 2016.
Leiríonn an acmhainn chun fáis sin atá ag an dtionscal lánais
closamhairc, mar pháirt riachtanach de straitéis an Gheilleagair
Chliste, go bhfuil ionchas láidir fostaíochta ann do dhaoine óga a
mbeidh postanna á lorg acu amach anseo.
Tugann an tionscal tacaíocht d’eiceolaíocht a ghineann sochair
indíreacha fostaíochta a éiríonn as gníomhaíochtaí léiriúcháin
ar fud na tíre. Cuireann an maoiniú a chuirtear ar fáil tríd an IFB
ar chumas chuideachtaí Éireannacha atá ag obair laistigh den
earnáil infheistíocht bhreise a mhealladh ar a uain, infheistíocht
a caitear ar phostanna in Éirinn agus ar sheirbhísí áitiúla.
Gné tábhachtach de gheilleagar na hÉireann is ea an tionscal
closamhairc agus tá an acmhainn aige fás agus fostaíocht a
chruthú sa todhchaí.
Give Me Direction Tionóladh an chéad chomhdháil scríbhneoireacht scripte ‘Give Me
Direction’, i mBaile átha Cliath agus dhírigh sé sin, trí mheascán
de phlé agus seisiúin neamhfhoirmeálta agus taispeáint scannán,
ar an ealaíon agus an eolaíocht a bhaineann le scríbhneoireacht
don scáileán.
D’fhreastail meascán d’aíonna Éireannacha agus idirnáisiúnta
ar an ócáid agus bhí deis ann scríbhneoireacht iontach agus úr
don scáileán a chur chun cinn agus chun rannpháirtíocht an IFB
maidir le aghaidh a thabhairt ar chúraim na hearnála a neartú.
Misean Trádála go LA agus An Chomhdháil ‘Produced By’ de chuid The Producers Guild of AmericaBhí an IFB i gceannas ar thoscaireacht de léiritheoirí Éireannacha
a chuaigh go Los Angeles chun casadh le léiritheoirí ó Stáit
Aontaithe Mheiriceá agus chun feabhsuithe ar an S481 agus Éire
mar shuíomh scannáin a chur chun cinn. D’fhreastail toscaireacht
iomlán an IFB ar an gcéad comhdháil ‘Produced By’ a raibh an
Producers Guild of America ina óstach aige agus a tionóladh
ag stiúideónna Sony Pictures. Ghlac an IFB seilbh ar stalla ag
an ócáid PGA sin, faoin mbrat ‘Ireland on Screen’ áit ar bhuail
foireann an IFB agus léiritheoirí Éireannacha le toscairí a bhí ag
moladh Éireann mar shuíomh scannáin idirnáisiúnta.
Forbairt an Líonra Cineama SainealaíneComhthionscnamh idir an IFB agus an Chomhairle Ealaíón is
ea an Cuibhreannas Cineama Cultúrtha (CCC) a bhfuil sé mar
aidhm aige an lucht féachan le haghaidh cineama sainealaíne a
mhéadú. Sa bhliain bhí oscailt an pictiúrlann Light House i nBaile
átha Cliath mar thoradh ar an dtionscnamh sin agus tosaíodh
ar thógáil Solas, an pictiúrlann nua do cineama sainealaíne i
nGaillimh le linn 2009. Faoi dheireadh na bliana 2009 bhí 11
scáileán scannáin feabhsaithe le trealamh digiteach le cabhair
airgeadais ón CCC.

TRIAGE
InTERnATIOnAL PRODuCTIOn
The enhancement of the Section 481 tax incentive net benefit to
28% became legislation in April 2009. These new changes will
assist the IFB and the sector to raise the profile of Ireland as an
international film and television location and attract Hollywood
productions to locate to Ireland.
2009 had a quiet beginning while the enhancements were being
made legislation but production soon got going and Hollywood was
back with the major uS feature film Leap Year starring Amy Adams
filming on location in Ireland.
The fourth and last series of Showtime’s award-winning show The
Tudors was shot on location in Dublin, Wicklow and at Ardmore
studios during the summer of 2009.
By the end of the year there were a number of new projects in
the pipeline for 2010 including the popular ITv series Primeval
which was confirmed for production in Ireland with a budget of
€15 million and Steven Soderbergh’s (Ocean’s Thirteen, Erin
Brockovich) latest feature film Knockout, which was written
specifically for Dublin.
The benefits of high levels of film and television production in
Ireland include increased international investment in the economy,
increased employment, positive spin-off effects for promoting
Ireland as a tourist location and the improvement of Ireland as an
industrial location for all aspects of creative endeavors.

LÉIRIÚCHÁn IDIRnÁISIÚnTA
Ritheadh an reachtaíocht chun sochar glan na dreasachta
cánach in Alt 481 a mhéadú go dtí 28% in Aibreán na bliana 2009.
Cabhróidh na hathruithe sin leis an IFB agus leis an earnáil
próifíl na hÉireann mar shuíomh idirnáisiúnta scannáin agus
teilifíse a ardú agus chun léiriúcháin Hollywood a mhealladh
chun scannáin a dhéanamh in Éirinn.
Bhí cúrsaí ciúin go leor ag tús na bliana 2009 nuair a bhí na
feabhsuithe á ndéanamh ar an reachtaíocht ach ní fada go raibh
cúrsaí léiriúcháin faoi lánseol nuair a tháinig Hollywood ar ais
agus an mórphríomhscannán Leap Year ina bhfuil Amy Adams
mar phríomhaisteoir á léiriú ar an suíomh in Éirinn.
Rinneadh an scannánaíocht ar an gceathrú sraith agus agus
an ceann deiridh den seó gradambhuaiteora ‘The Tudors’
ar an suíomh i mBaile átha Cliath, i gCill Mhantáin agus ag
stiúideónna Ardmore i rith an tsamhraidh i 2009.
Faoi dheireadh na bliana bhí líon tionscadal nua socraithe
don bhliain 2010 ina measc an tsraith móréilimh de chuid ITv
Primeval a raibh deimhniú ina leith go léireofaí in Éirinn í le
buiséad de €15 milliún agus an príomhscannán is déanaí le
Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s Thirteen, Erin Brockovich), Knockout,
a scríobhadh go sonrach le haghaidh Baile átha Cliath.
I measc na sochair a bhaineann le leibhéil arda léiriúchán
scannáin agus teilifíse in Éirinn tá méadú ar an infheistíocht
idirnáisiúnta sa ngeilleagar, méadú ar an bhfostaíocht, éifeachtaí
dearfacha seachtháirge maidir le hÉire a chur chun cinn mar
láthair turasóireachta agus feabhsú na hÉireann mar ionad
tionscail do dhíchill chruthaitheacha de gach aon chineál.

STATEMEnT OF BOARD MEMBERS’ RESPOnSIBILITIES
Section 20 (1) of the Irish Film Board Act 1980, requires the members of the Board to prepare Financial Statements
in such form as may be approved by the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport with the consent of the Minister for
Finance. In preparing those Financial Statements, the Board is required to:
• Select suitable policies and then apply them consistently.
• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board will continue in business.
• State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board is responsible for keeping proper books of account which disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board. It is responsible
for taking such steps as are necessary to safeguard the assets of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board and to
prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

MISS REMARKABLE AND HER CAREER
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 2009 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 2009.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AnD AuDITOR GEnERAL FOR PRESEnTATIOn TO THE HOuSES OF THE OIREACHTAS
I have audited the financial statements of the Irish Film Board
for the year ended 31 December 2009 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 Liabilities, the Balance Sheet, the
Cash Flow Statement and the related notes.
Respective Responsibilities of the Board and the Comptroller and Auditor General
The Irish Film Board is responsible for preparing the financial
statements in accordance with the Irish Film Board Act 1980 and
for ensuring the regularity of transactions. The Irish Film Board
prepares the financial statements in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice in Ireland. The accounting
responsibilities of the Members of the Board are set out in the
Statement of Board Members’ Responsibilities.
My responsibility is to audit the financial statements in
accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and
International Standards on Auditing (uK and Ireland).
I report my opinion as to whether the financial statements give
a true and fair view, in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice in Ireland. I also report whether in my
opinion proper books of account have been kept. In addition, I
state whether the financial statements are in agreement with the
books of account.
I report any material instance where moneys have not been
applied for the purposes intended or where the transactions do
not conform to the authorities governing them.
I also report if I have not obtained all the information and
explanations necessary for the purposes of my audit.
I review whether the Statement on Internal Financial Control
reflects the Board’s compliance with the Code of Practice for the
Governance of State Bodies and report any material instance
where it does not do so, or if the statement is misleading or
inconsistent with other information of which I am aware from my
audit of the financial statements. I am not required to consider
whether the Statement on Internal Financial Control covers
all financial risks and controls, or to form an opinion on the
effectiveness of the risk and control procedures.
Basis of Opinion
In the exercise of my function as Comptroller and Auditor
General, I conducted my audit of the financial statements in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (uK and
Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board and by reference
to the special considerations which attach to State bodies in
relation to their management and operation. An audit includes
examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts
and disclosures and regularity of the financial transactions
included in the financial statements. It also includes an
assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made in
the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the Board’s circumstances,
consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
I planned and performed my audit so as to obtain all the
information and explanations that I considered necessary
in order to provide me with sufficient evidence to give reasonable
assurance that the financial statements are free from material
misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or
error. In forming my opinion I also evaluated the overall adequacy
of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view,
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in
Ireland, of the state of the Board’s affairs at 31 December 2009
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.

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.

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 basis for the establishment of the pension scheme, and the policy and practice currently in place 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:

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 FRS17 (Revised) disclosures has been based on a full actuarial valuation completed in May 2010 by a qualified independent actuary taking account of the requirement of the FRS in order to assess the scheme liabilities at 31st December 2009.
The Principal Actuarial Assumptions were as follows: 2009 2008Rate of Increase in Salaries 3.5% 3.5%Rate of Increase in Pensions in Payment 3.5% 3.5%Discount Rate 4.3% 4 %Inflation Rate 2% 2%
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 21.6 yearsLife Expectancy for Female aged 65 23.3 yearsLife Expectancy for Male aged 45 Now (from 65) 23.9 yearsLife Expectancy for Female aged 45 Now (from 65) 25.1 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.

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.
NOTE: BSÉ/IFB reserves the right to alter, add to or
suspend any of the above criteria in response to particular
circumstances or as its policies evolve.

RÁITEAS MAIDIR LEIS An gCóRAS RIALAITHE 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
dháileann 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 shocrú
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 2009
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.
Bhunaigh an Bord Coiste Iniúchta 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 2009.

Chuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leis go Coitiana in Éireann. Tá
freagrachtaí cuntasaíochta Chomhaltaí an Bhoird leagtha amach
sa Ráiteas um Fhreagrachtaí Chomhaltaí an Bhoird.
Is é m’fhreagrachtsa ná na ráitis airgeadais a iniúchadh de
réir cheanglas ábhartha dlí agus rialúcháin agus Caighdean
Idirnáisiúnta maidir le hIniúchóireacht (Ríocht Aontaithe
agus Éire).
Tuairiscím mo thuairim maidir le cibé an dtugann na ráitis
airgeadais léargas fíorcheart, de réir Cleachtais Chuntasaíochta
a nGlactar Leis go Coitianta in Éirinn. Tuairiscím freisin cibé,
dar liom, an raibh leabhair chuntais chuí coinnithe. Lena
chois sin, deirim cibé an dtagann na ráitis airgeadais leis na
leabhair chuntais.
Tuairiscím ar aon chás ábhartha nár feidhmíodh suimeanna
airgid chun na gcríoch a bhí beartaithe nó sa chás nach leanann
na hidirbhearta do na húdaráis a rialaíonn iad.
Tuairiscím freisin mura bhfuil an fhaisnéis agus na mínithe ar fad
faighte agam agus atá riachtanach chun críocha m’iniúchta.
Scrúdaím an Raiteas maidir le Rialú Inmhéanach Airgeadais le
féachaint an léirítear ann gur chomhlíon an Bord an Cód Cleachtais
maidir le Rialachas Comhlachtaí Stáit agus tuairiscím ar aon
chás ábhartha nach ndéanann sé amhlaidh, nómás rud é go
bhfuil an ráiteas míthreorach nónach dtagann sé le faisnéis eile
atá ar eolas agam de bharr na ráitis airgeadais a bheith iniúchta
agam. Ní cheanglaítear orm a bhreithniú cibé an gclúdaíonn an
Ráiteas maidir le Rialú Inmheánach Airgeadias gach priacal agus
rialú airgeadais, ná teach tar thuairim maidir le héifeachtacht na
nósanna imeachta le priacail agus rialú.
An Bunús atá le mo Thuairim ar na Ráitis
I mbun m’fheidhme mar Ard-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste,
rinne mé m’iniúchadh ar na ráitis airgeadais de réir Caighdeán
Idirnáisiúnta maidir le hIniúchóireacht (Ríocht Aontaithe agus
Eire) arna n-eisiúint ag an mBord un Chleachtais Iniúchóireachta
agus trí thagairt a dhéanamh do na nithe ar leith is gá a chur
san áireamh i ndáil le cúrsaí bainisteoireachta agus oibriúcháin
a ghabhann le comhlachtaí Stáit. Déantar scrudú mar chuid den
iniúchadh, ar bhonn tástála, ar fhianaise a bhaineann le suimeanna
agus rialtacht na n-idirbheart airgeadais a chuirtear san áireamh
sna ráitis airgeadais, agus leis na hidirbhearta a fhoilsítear inotu.
Chomh maith leis sin, cuimsíonn an t-iniúchadh measúnacht ar na
meastacháin agus ar na breitheanna suntasacha a rinneadh agus
na ráitis airgeadais á n-ullmhú, agus measúnacht le féachaint an
n-oireann na beartais chuntasaíochta don bhail atá ar chúrsaí an
Bhoird, ar feidhmíodh na beartais sin ar bhealach leanúnach agus
ar foilsíodh iad ar bhealach sásúil.
Phleanáil mé agus rinne mé m’iniúchadh sa chaoi is go bhfaighinn
an fhaisnéis agus na mínithe ar fad a mheas mé a bheith
riachtanach ionas go mbeadh leordhóthain fianaise agam a
d’fgágfadh cinnteacht réasúnach ann go bhfuil na ráitis airgeadais
soar ó mhíráiteas ábhartha, cibé calaois nó neamhrialtacht
nó earráid eile is cúis leis sin. I dteacht ar mo thuairim, rinne
mémeastóireacht ar a shásúla is a cuireadg faisnéis I láthair sna
ráitis airgeadais san iomlán freisin.
Tuairim
Is é mo thuairim go dtugann na ráitis airgeadais léargas fíorcheart,
de réir Cleachtais Chuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leis go Coitianta in
Éirinn, ar riocht ghnóthaí an Bhoird ag 31 Nollaig 2009 agus ar a
ioncam agus ar a chaiteachas don bhliain dar críoch sin.
Is é mo thuairim go raibh leabhair chuntais chuí coinnithe
ag an mBord. Tá na ráitis airgeadais ag teacht leis na
leabhair chuntais.

Le haghaidh agus thar ceann an Ard-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste
THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOuSEKEEPER (AT HOME WITH THE CLEARY’S)
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 cuidiú le léiriú
scannán. Braitheann aisíocaíochtaí agus aischuir ar rath tráchtála
na scannán ábhartha.
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 íoc, 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 méid atá comhréir
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.

Níor dámadh aon bhónas maidir le feidhmíocht don bhliain 2009. Ní théann teidlíochtaí pinsean an Phríomhfheidhmeannaigh níós faide ná na teidlíochtaí caighdeánacha i scéim aoisliúntais sochar sainithe na hearnála poiblí. Tabhaíodh costais de €47,359 i dtaca leis an bPríomhfheidhmeannach agus áirítear iad sin sna catagóirí seo a leanas: cóiríocht, táillí aeir, muirir teileafóin póca, liúntais cothabhála, táillí tacsaí agus traenach. Chaith an Príomhfheidhmeannach 98 lá thar lear i mbun gnó le linn 2009 chun airgeadas idirnáisiúnta a aimsiú le haghaidh sláta príomhscannán an IFB, chun Éire a chur chun cinn mar shuíomh scannán agus chun feasacht maidir le scannáin Éireannacha a chur chun cinn go hidirnáisiúnta. Tá ceanglas ar an bPríomhfheidhmeannach chomh maith freastal ar líon fairsing cruinnithe i mBaile átha Cliath mar chuid dá dhualgas. íocadh asbhaintí tobhaigh pinsin de €53,848 ó thuarastal na foirne leis an Roinn Ealaíon, Spóirt agus Turasóireachta i 2009.

c. Maoiniú Iarchurtha le haghaidh Pinsean 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 atá i bhfeidhm faoi láthair 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:

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 2009.

MIOnSOnRAí MAIDIR LE COInníOLLACHA IASACHTA
(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 oibligeáid
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 go gcaithfear iad a dhíscríobh.
Déanann an Bord monatóireacht, áfach, ar na tionscadail a tugtar chun críche go rathúil agus éilítear an t-airgead atá
dlite go gníomhach.
(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.

PRIOnSABAIL AGuS CRITÉIR
Treoiríonn roinnt prionsabal bunúsacha 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 aidhm 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 maidir le maoiniú seachas cinn 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 rannpháirtíochta a bheidh ag
pearsanra, gnéithe agus saoráidí Éireannacha sa dtionscadal,
agus (c) go bhfuil gealltanas i bhfeidhm ag an gcomhléiritheoir
SCORING
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 maireachtáil faoi bhláth fiú amháin,
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 don mhórscáileán ach an deis 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
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 measann BSÉ/IFB 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
• Ar éirigh leis an léiritheoir bainistiú agus seachadadh
proifisiúnta agus éifeachtúil a dhéanamh ar scannáin
roime seo?
• An bhfuil dea-thaithí ag BSÉ/IFB maidir le plé a
dhéanamh leis an léiritheoir roimhe seo?
• 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
má roghnaítear iad ar fhéile amháin ar liosta féilte
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.
TABHAIR FAOI DEARA: Forchoimeádann BSÉ/IFB an ceart aon
cheann de na critéir thuas a athrú, nó cur leo nó iad a chur ar
fionraí mar fhreagairt ar chúinsí áirithe nó de réir mar a thagann
athruithe ar a chuid beartais.
