SPI calls for more support from Irish broadcasters

Screen Producers Ireland has called on Irish television broadcasters for increased support in 2005, accusing them of acting like Scrooge with Irish films.

The independent producers' body made their remarks after claiming only two of the 180 films due to be shown on RTÉ 1, RTÉ 2, TV3 and TG4, from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day, are home grown productions.
