Board bids to bring leading TV productions here

A group of leading European broadcasters were in Ireland for the past two days as guests of the Irish Film Board (IFB).

The IFB hosted a two-day forum for 25 broadcasters and producers. A similar event in 2011 directly led to €40m worth of productions filming in Ireland in 2012.

The event, Big Picture, Small Screen, was designed to enable Irish producers and broadcasters explore co-production opportunities with their European peers.
