The tariff threat is on the non-American movie and tv production sector.
Donald Trump's 100% tariff threat on the non-American movie and tv production sector is threatening investor confidence when it comes to a proposed midlands movie studio.
Mullingar Studios Campus got the green light in 2022 for a 25 acre site in Lough Sheever Corporate Park to attract globalTV, film and content productions.
If delivered it's expected to genenate €50m a year for the local economy.
However global issues such as the pandemic, writers and the actors strikes, and now Donald Trump's talk of a 100% tariff on foreign made movies, have undermined the project's progress.
Film Consultant with Bigger Picture Projects, Tom Dowling says maintaining confidence in the Irish film industry will help:
The Arts Minister says he will continue 'constructive and collaborative' engagement with the film industry here.
Ireland has a thriving film and TV production industry which is supported by tax breaks.
Film Consultant with Bigger Picture Studios Tom Dowling says US companies are part of that:
