Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD, has announced the members of the new Board of Screen Ireland.

The appointments are said to come following a Public Appointment Services (PAS) campaign for the Screen Ireland Board. 

Ms. Susan Bergin has been appointed as Chair designate of the next Screen Ireland board and will be joined by new members Dr. Zélie Asava, John  McDonnell, Ray Harman, and Eoin Holohan. Previous board members Marian Quinn and Kate McColgan have both been re-appointed.

“I am delighted to welcome the new Board of Screen Ireland who take up their role at an exciting time in the film industry,” said Minister Martin. “The challenges that endure since COVID-19 arrived on our shores are well known but increased support and investment in Screen Ireland will help deliver key projects across feature film, TV drama, and animation production.”

“Sustained investment and work in recent years had laid the foundations for positive growth in the sector and despite the difficulties of operating in a COVID landscape, the sector has demonstrated its resilience,” Minister Martin continued. “There is a substantial demand for screen content and with our skilled workforce, our cultural heritage and landscapes and supports for the sector, Ireland is in a strong place to capitalise on this.”

“We are ambitious for the film industry in Ireland and we want to see the Irish creative screen sector grow to become a global centre of excellence for the creative screen industries. The Board is central to the governance, oversight and strategic direction of Screen Ireland and I thank all the Board Members for giving their time and playing a part in supporting the audiovisual sector”.

The legislation establishing the Board allows for a total board membership of seven with one Board Member to be appointed as Chair. 

These appointments were said to be made following an open competition operated by PAS, which invited application from individuals with professional industry experience, creative and technical experience, experience of distribution, exhibition and audience development, experience of related areas including front of camera; the creative arts including crafts, or broader business experience.
