The Sunday Times devotes a full page to the question of whether Ireland’s tax breaks for film investments should be cut because they have failed to deliver a sustainable indigenous movie industry.

The piece details how €300m has been invested in films by Irish investors over the past three years – a tax loss to the exchequer of €100m. It decides despite big budget wins such as Camelot, the jury is still out on the effectiveness of the incentives.
