CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2014

BROOKLYN

GLOBAL REACH

Films, telling Irish stories, have been enjoyed by audiences and recognised across the globe for their excellent work throughout 2014. The year began at Sundance with four IFB funded films in selection, garnering strong reviews and achieving major North American sales for both Calvary and Frank. Irish films and stories continued to be represented at all of the major festivals and markets from Berlin to Cannes, SXSW, Annecy and Toronto. The year finished up with a major focus on Irish film at the Les Arcs European Film Festival and co-production market in France in December.

A large number of Irish films have also been released worldwide this year, particularly in the US. Calvary had a very strong opening weekend at the US box office when it was released in August, with a worldwide release rolled out by Fox Searchlight.

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) remains focused on developing Irish creative talent both in front of and behind the camera. Many Irish directors, writers, actors and crew are succeeding on the world stage, with the support of IFB funding.

A number of Irish actors who started their careers on IFB funded productions in Ireland have seen their profiles rise this year. Jack Reynor, recognised for his performances in IFB funded films What Richard Did and Dollhouse, saw his international star rise further in one of the lead roles in Transformers which became a worldwide box office hit this year. Jack has since appeared in the Irish film Glassland, which is scheduled for a 2015 release.

The IFB continues to invest in feature documentaries following on from the successes of The Summit, Rough Rider, One Million Dubliners and Unbreakable. Other established Irish actors who returned to work on major Irish features included Domhnall Gleeson and Saoirse Ronan in Brooklyn, Colin Farrell in The Lobster - which filmed on location in Kerry in the Spring of 2014.

Irish films telling important Irish stories were also a success at home with eighteen Irish films released in Irish cinemas in 2014. Calvary took over €1.6 million at the Irish box office and The Stag

made more than its total budget at the Irish box office taking over €600,000, with both films receiving much critical acclaim. The Guarantee telling the story of the bailout of the Irish banking system was one of the first Irish live cinema events with the premiere of the film and live Q&A being broadcast across eighteen locations throughout the country.

Irish films broadcast on RTÉ and funded by the IFB have achieved strong audience figures. RTÉ 2, in partnership with the IFB broadcast a number of Irish films on a prime Saturday night slot from September, What Richard Did was the last film broadcast before Christmas. Feature documentaries have also proved a hit with RTÉ audiences. The award-winning documentary films The Summit, Rough Rider, One Million Dubliners and Unbreakable are examples of projects which received record ratings when they were broadcast on Irish television this year.

PRODUCTION ACTIVITY

The IFB invested €10 million, generating production expenditure of over €40 million in relation to IFB funded projects in 2014.

The overall figures for the industry in 2014 show that production activity for the independent film, television drama and animation sector has increased significantly exceeding €200 million in 2014, reaching the highest production activity levels on record.

Because of IFB investment, Irish children for generations to come will also have the opportunity to see Irish stories in animation, film and television. IFB supported projects this year include the upcoming animated feature film Song of The Sea directed by Tomm Moore, based on Irish folklore and stories.

The IFB is the largest funder of the Irish animation industry in the state, investing in both animated films and television series for young children. Successful pre-school animated TV shows, developed and produced in Ireland, include Wildernuts produced by Kavaleer which showcased at Annecy this year and Puffin Rock starring the voice of Chris O’Dowd and produced by Cartoon Saloon.

AIMSIÚ DOMHANDA

De bharr feabhais a gcuid oibre le linn 2014 tá aitheantas á thabhairt ar fud an domhain do scannáin Éireannacha a insíonn scéalta Éireannacha agus tá lucht féachana ag baint taitnimh astu. Ag tús na bliana ag Sundance bhí ceithre scannán a raibh maoiniú acu ó BSÉ/IFB sa rogha, fuaireadar léirmheasanna a bhí an-dearfach agus ghnóthaigh na scannáin Calvary agus Frank mór-dhíolachaín i Meiriceá Thuaidh. Bhí rannpháirtíocht i gcónaí ag scéalta agus ag scannáin Éireannacha ag na mór-fhéiltí agus margaidh scannán ar fad ó Bhéirlín go Cannes, SXSW, Annecy agus Toronto. Ag deireadh na bliana bhí fócas láidir ar scannán Éireannach ag Féile Scannán Eorpach agus margadh comhléiriúcháin Les Arcs sa Fhrainc i rith Mí na Nollag. Eisíodh líón mór scannán Éireannach ar fud an domhain i mbliana, sna Stáit Aontaithe go háirithe. D’éirigh go han-mhaith le Calvary ag an oifig díolacháin sna Stáit Aontaithe ar an gcéad deireadh seachtaine a eisíodh é i Mí Lúnasa, agus ansin d’eisigh Fox Searchlight an scannán ar fud an domhain.

Tá Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) dírithe i gcónaí ar thalann cruthaitheach Éireannach a fhorbairt os comhair na gceamairí agus taobh thiar dóibh. Tá ag éirí go geal ar fud an domhain le líon mór stiúrthóirí, scríbhneoirí, aisteoirí agus criú as Éirinn, a bhuíochas sin le tacaíocht mhaoiniúcháin ó IFB.

Tá curtha le hiomrá roinnt aisteoirí Éireannacha a thosaigh mar aisteoirí gairmiúla i léiriúcháin in Éirinn a fuair maoiniú ó IFB. Tháinig méadú mór ar cháil Jack Reynor, a bhain aitheantas amach dó féin sna scannáin What Richard Did agus Dollhouse a fuair maoiniú ó IFB, nuair a fuair sé ceann de na príompháirteanna sa scannán Transformers ar éirigh thar barr leis in oifigí díolacháin ar fud an domhain i mbliana. Ó shin, beidh Jack le feiceáil sa scannán Éireannach Glassland, a bhfuil sé beartaithe é a eisiúint i 2015.

Tá IFB ag infheistiú i gcónai i bpríomhscannáin faisnéise ag leanúint ar aghaidh ó na scannáin mhórathúla The Summit, Rough Rider, One Million Dubliners agus Unbreakable. I measc aisteoirí sean-bhunaithe Éireannacha a d’fhill ar obair ar mhórphríomhscannáin Éireannacha bhí Domhnall Gleeson agus Saoirse Ronan

i mBrookyn, Colin Farrell i The Lobster – ar a rinneadh scannánaíocht i gCiarraí in Earrach na bliana 2014.

Bhí an-rath sa bhaile ar scannáin Éireannacha a raibh scéalta tábhachtacha Éireannacha á n-insint acu. Eisíodh ocht scannán Éireannach déag i bpictiúrlanna Éireannacha sa bhliain 2014. Ghnóthaigh Calvary breis is €1.6 milliún ag díolóifig na hÉireann agus ghnóthaigh The Stag níos mó ná iomlán a bhuiséid ag díoloifig na hÉireann le díolacháin de bhreis is €600,000. Fuair an dá scannán sin ardmholadh chomh maith ó na léirmheastóirí. Bhí an scannán The Guarantee, a insíonn scéal na tarrthála a fuair córas baincéireachta na hÉireann ar cheann de na céad bheo-ócáidí cineama i Éirinn nuair a rinneadh céad-taibhiú agus seisiúin Cheist & Fhreagra bheo a chraoladh ag ocht shuíomh déag ar fud na tíre.

Tá líon láidir lucht féachana bainte amach ag scannáin a craoladh ar RTÉ agus a fuair maoiniúchán ó IFB. Chraol RTÉ 2, i gcomhpháirt le IFB, líon áirithe scannán Éireannach i bpríomhshliotán oíche Shathairn le linn mhí Mheán Fómhair, ba é What Richard Did an scannán deireannach a craoladh roimh Nollaig. Bhí an-tóir ar phríomhscannáin faisnéise freisin i measc lucht féachana RTÉ. I measc na samplaí de phríomhscannáin faisnéise a bhain amach gradaim a a ghnóthaigh scóir féachana thar na bearta nuair a craoladh iad ar theilifís in Éirinn i mbliana bhí The Summit, Rough Rider, One Million Dubliners agus Unbreakable.

GNÍOMHAÍÓCHT LÉIRIÚCHÁIN

Rinne IFB infheistíocht de €10 milliún, rud a spreag caiteachas de bhreis is €40 millíun i ndáil le tionscadail a fuair maoiniú ó IFB le linn 2014.

Léiríonn na figiuirí foriomlána don tionscal le linn 2014 gur mhéadaigh gníomhaíocht léiriúcháin d’ earnáil na scannán neamhspleách, drámá teilifíse agus earnáil na beochana go suntasach, ag gnóthú breis is €200 milliún le linn 2014, na leibhéil is airde gníomhaíochta léiriúcháin ar thaifead.

De bharr infheistíochta IFB, beidh an deis ag leanaí in Éirinn sna glúinte atá amach romhainn scéalta Éireannacha a fheiceáil i mbeochan, i scannáin agus ar an dteilifís. I measc na dtionscadal a

THE SONG OF THE SEA

2014 saw high levels of foreign direct investment into Ireland with a large number of high-profile film and TV productions filming on location in Ireland. Major TV productions including the third series of Vikings and Ripper Street, as well as a second series of Penny Dreadful all continued production in Ireland. The forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens also chose Ireland as a film location, using the stunning backdrop of Skellig Michael off the coast of Co. Kerry.

TRAINING & CATALYST PROJECT

Screen Training Ireland, managed by the IFB, provided thirty-five courses which were attended by over 1,200 participants. Major training events included Screen Leaders, the VXF Summit and two successful storytelling programmes for animation and live action. Screen Training Ireland now has a new and refreshed website. The IFB announced the commissioning of three successful projects for the new Catalyst Project scheme, which offered up-and-coming filmmakers the opportunity to engage for three low-budget feature film funding awards. Over 400 directors, producers and writers participated in the initial stages of this project which included two days of training with masterclasses from Jim Sheridan and Lenny Abrahamson.

THE FUTURE

The primary role of the IFB is to invest in the development of Irish talent in front of and behind the camera and to ensure that Irish audiences have the opportunity to see Irish stories on film. In 2014 there was a wide public debate about Irish film. The IFB is very proud of the Irish films we have supported and believes strongly in the strength and depth of the work. Keeping Irish film culture at the heart of Irish life is our key objective and the IFB looks forward to continuing the conversation in 2015.

In 2015 we will announce a new Five Year Strategy for the agency which will build on recent successes. As Ireland moves ahead into economic recovery, the Irish film, television and animation sector, which has grown steadily during the economic downturn, will have an important role to play in terms of representing Irish culture, telling Irish stories, creating Irish jobs and promoting Irish talent on the international stage in the year to come.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Irish Film Board fully complies with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State bodies. In line with section 10.2 of the code, I affirm to the best of my knowledge that:

(i) There were no commercially significant developments affecting the body in 2014 other than those mentioned in the operational review of the year given above.(ii) All appropriate procedures for financial reporting, internal audit, travel, procurement and assets’ disposals are being carried out(iii) The Irish Film Board has complied with its obligations under tax law.(iv) A Statement on the System of Internal Financial Control is given in Page 6 of the Annual Report.(v) The Codes of Business Conduct for Directors and Employees are in place.(vi) The Government policy on the pay of Chief Executives and all State body employees is being complied with(vii) The Government guidelines on the payment of Directors’ fees are being complied with(viii) No significant post balance sheet events occurred(ix) The Guidelines for the Appraisal and Management of Capital Expenditure Proposals are being complied with(x) Government travel policy requirements are being complied with in all respects(xi) The Code of Practice for the Governance of State bodies has been adopted and is being complied with

05fuair tacaíocht i mbliana ó IFB tá an príomhscannán beochana Song of The Sea, faoi stiúir Tomm Móore atá bunaithe ar bhéaloideas agus ar scéalta Éireannacha.

Is é an IFB an maoinitheoir is mó sa stát ar an dtionscal beochana, ag infheistiú i scannáin bheochana agus i sraitheanna beochana teilifíse do leanaí óga. I measc na seónna teilifíse réamhscolaíochta teilifíse a forbraíodh agus a léiríodh in Éirinn bhí Wildernuts, léirithe ag Kavaleer, a taibhíodh ag Annecy i mbliana agus Puffin Rock, léirithe ag Cartoon Saloon agus le guth Chris O’Dowd sa phríomhpháirt.

Tháinig leibhéil arda infheistíochta dírigh eachtrannaigh isteach in Éirinn le linn 2014 agus líon mór léiriúchán scannáin agus teilifíse ag scannánaíocht ar shuíomh in Éirinn. Lean mórléiriúcháin teilifíse, ina measc Vikings agus Ripper Street, chomh maith leis an dara shraith de Penny Dreadful ar aghaidh á léiriú in Éirinn. Freisin, roghnaigh an scannán Star Wars: The Force Awakens, atá le teacht, Éire mar shuíomh scannánaíochta, ag úsáid Sceilig Mhichíl amach ó chósta Chiarraí, mar shár-chúlra.

TIONSCADAL OILIÚNA & CATALYST

Chuir Screen Training Ireland, faoi bhainistíocht IFB, triocha cúig chúrsa ar fáil ar fhreastail breis is 1,200 rannpháirtithe orthu. San áireamh nle mórócáidí oiliúna bhí Screen Leaders, Cruinniú Mullaig VXF agus dhá chlár insint scéil do bheochan agus d’aicsean beo ar éirigh go rathúil leo. Tá suíómh gréasáin nua agus athnuaite anois ag Screen Training Ireland. D’fhógair IFB go ndearna siad trí thionscadal rathúil a choimisiúnú don scéim do Thionscadail Catalyst, a thairg an deis do dhéantóirí scannán ag teacht aníos iarratais a dhéanamh ar thrí dhámhachtan maoiniúcháin do phríomhscannáin ar ísealbhuiséid. Ghlac breis is 400 stiúrthóirí, léiritheoirí agus scríbhneoirí páirt sna céadchéimeanna den tionscadal sin a chuir san áireamh dhá lá oiliúna le máistir-ranganna le Jim Sheridan agus Lenny Abrahamson.

AMACH ANSEO

Is é príomhról an IFB infheistíocht a dhéanamh i dtalann Éireannach a fhorbairt os comhair an cheamara agus taobh thiar de agus a chinntiú go mbíonn deiseanna ag lucht féachana in Éirinn scéalta Éireannacha a fheiceáil ar scannán. Sa bhliain 2014 bhí díospóireacht leathan phoiblí maidir le cúrsaí scannán in Éirinn. Tá IFB an-bhródúil as na scannáin ar thugamar tacaíocht dóibh agus creideann IFB go láidir i neart agus i ndoimhneas na hoibre.

Is é cultúr na scannán Éireannach a choimeád ag croílár an tsaoil Éireannaigh ár bpríomhchuspóir agus tá IFB ag súil le leanúint ar aghaidh leis an gcomhrá sin le linn 2015. Fógróidh muid Straitéis Chúig Bliana don ghníómhaireacht sa bhliain 2015 a bheidh ag tógáil ar an rath atá orainn le blianta beaga anuas. Leis an dul chun cinn atá á dhéanamh ag Éirinn ó thaobh téarnaimh gheilleagraí de, beidh ról tábhachtach ag earnáil na scannán, na teilifíse agus na beochana, a d’fhás go seasta le linn an chúlú eacnamaíochta, maidir le cultúr na hÉireann a léiriú, scéalta Éireannacha a insint, postanna Éireannacha a chruthú agus talann Éireannach a chur chun cinn go hidirnáisiúnta sa bhliain atá romhainn amach.

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

On behalf of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board, I acknowledge our responsibility for ensuring that an effective system of internal financial control is maintained and operated.

The system can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions authorised and properly recorded, and that material errors or irregularities are either prevented or would be detected in a timely period.

KEY CONTROL PROCEDURES: The Board has put in place the following key internal financial control procedures to ensure an appropriate control environment exists:

• An organisation plan exists which defines and allocates responsibilities to staff and identifies lines of reporting for all aspects of the Board’s operations. • Procedures and security measures exist to ensure the safe custody of the Board’s assets and assurance against unauthorised use or disposition.• A strong culture of openness and accountability is encouraged throughout the organisation.

The Board has also established processes to identify and evaluate business risks:

• Identifying the nature, extent and financial implication of risk facing the body including the extent which it regards as acceptable in different functions. • Assessing the likelihood of identified risks occurring and assessing the Board’s ability to manage and mitigate the risks that do occur.• Carrying out regular reviews of the Board’s strategic plans to ensure that these plans address the current business environment.

• Setting short and long term targets for each Unit within the Board and reviewing progress against same.• Establishing and enforcing standard procedures under which financial assistance may be made available to projects and reviewing these procedures where necessary.

The Board reviewed its business risks in 2014 and is currently addressing any identified weaknesses.

The system of financial controls is based on a framework of regular management information, administrative procedures including segregation of duties, authorisation, and a system of delegation and accountability. In particular it includes:

• A comprehensive budgeting system with an annual budget which is reviewed and agreed by the Board.• Regular reviews of periodic and annual financial reports which indicate expenditure against forecasts.• Setting targets to measure financial and other performances.

The Board has also established an Audit Committee which consists of representatives of the Board and the Executive with a view to furtherance of internal controls.

REVIEW OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROL: The Board monitors the effectiveness of the system of internal financial controls by regular management review and periodic inspection and review studies by external consultants. The Board carried out a review of its internal financial controls for 2014.

• Select suitable policies and then apply them consistently.• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board will continue in business.• State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board is responsible for keeping proper books of account which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board. It is responsible for taking such steps as are necessary to safeguard the assets of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL FOR PRESENTATION TO THE HOUSES OF THE OIREACHTAS

BORD SCANNÁN NA hÉIREANN/THE IRISH FILM BOARD I have audited the financial statements of the Irish Film Board for the year ended 31 December 2014 under the Irish Film Board Act 1980. The financial statements, which have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein, comprise the accounting policies, the capital income and expenditure account, the administration income and expenditure account, the statement of total recognised gains and losses, the balance sheet, the cash flow statement and the related notes. The financial reporting statements have been prepared under Section 20 of the Act, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in Ireland.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARDThe Irish Film Board is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, for ensuring that they give a true and fair view of the state of the Board’s affairs and of its income and expenditure, and for ensuring the regularity of transactions.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERALMy responsibility is to audit the financial statements and report on them in accordance with applicable law.

My audit is conducted by reference to the special considerations which attach to State Bodies in relation to their management and operation.

My audit is carried out in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and in compliance with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

SCOPE OF AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAn audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:• Whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Board’s circumstances, and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed,• The reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made in preparation for the financial statements, and • The overall presentation of the financial statements I also seek to obtain evidence about the regularity of financial transactions in the course of the audit.

In addition, I read the Board’s annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If I become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies I consider the implications for my report.

OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSIn my opinion, the financial statements, which have been properly prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting practice in Ireland, give a true and fair view of the state of the Board’s affairs at 31 December 2014 and of its income and expenditure for 2014.

In my opinion, proper books of account have been kept by the Board. The financial statements are in agreement with the books of account.

MATTERS ON WHICH I REPORT BY EXCEPTIONI report by exception if:• I have not received all the information and explanations I required for my audit, or• My audit noted any material instance where moneys have not been applied for the purposes intended or where the translations did not conform to the authorities governing them, or• the information given in the Board’s annual report for the year for which the financial statements are prepared is not consistent with the financial statements, or• the statement of internal fInancial control does not reflect the Board’s compliance with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies, or• I find there are other material matters relating to the manner in which public business has been conducted.

I have nothing to report in regard to those matters upon which reporting is by exception.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTINGThe financial statements consist of two Income and Expenditure Accounts and a Balance Sheet.

• The Capital Income and Expenditure Account records the disbursement of the Board’s development and production loans and other capital payments. It also records the payments made by Screen Training Ireland in relation to training and development for the Irish screen sectors (Note 17).

• The Administration Income and Expenditure Account records the administrative transactions in respect of the Board and Screen Training Ireland.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) on an accruals basis except as stated below. Financial Reporting Standards recommended by the recognised accounting bodies are adopted as they become applicable.

Transfer of OperationsIn January 2013, the six staff employed at Screen Training Ireland transferred to the Irish Film Board under a formal transfer of undertaking following a government decision to dissolve FÁS and to establish Solas as the new further education and training authority.

Screen Training Ireland has its own financial system and produces its own financial statements which are then consolidated into the accounts of the Irish Film Board. The salaries of the Screen Training Ireland’s staff are paid by the Irish Film Board. All other administrative expenditure is disclosed in Note 18.

B. INCOMEIncome shown in the financial statements under Oireachtas Grants represents the actual cash received. Other income is also taken into account on an accrual basis.

C. LOANSProduction loans are made by the Board to assist in the production of films. Repayments and returns are dependent upon the commercial success of the related films.

Development loans are made to filmmakers for the purpose of developing film projects. Repayments become payable in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements.

These loans are not normally subject to interest charges, but include measures for recoupment and profit participation.

Loans are reviewed by the Board on a periodic basis and appropriate provision is made against loans outstanding, based upon the historical performance of the Board’s loanbook. The provision is accounted for through the Capital Reserve.

D. CAPITAL RESERVEThe Capital Reserve represents the funding invested in Films and Fixed Assets after provisions and amortisation.

E. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETSTangible fixed assets are shown at original historical cost. Assets over €250 are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the original cost less the estimated residual value of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. The rates of depreciation are as follows:

• Office Furniture and Equipment 20% per annum• Computer Equipment 33% per annum

F. PENSION COSTSThe Board operates a defined benefit pension scheme which is funded annually on a pay as you go basis from monies available to it, including monies provided by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The Scheme is operated on an administrative basis pending approval of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

Pension Scheme liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method.

Under the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and other provisions) Act 2012 new entrants to the Public Service on or after 1 January 2013 become members of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme.

Pension costs reflect pension benefits earned by employees in the period and are shown net of staff pension contributions which are treated as refundable to the Department in accordance with agency financing arrangements. An amount corresponding to the pension charge is recognised as income to the extent that it is recoverable and offset by grants received in the year to discharge pension payments.

Actuarial gains or losses arising from changes in Actuarial assumptions and from experience surpluses and deficits are recognised in the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses for the year in which they occur and a corresponding adjustment is recognised in the amount recoverable from the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

Pension Liabilities represent the present value of future pension payments earned by staff to date. Deferred pension funding represents the corresponding asset to be recovered in future periods from the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

G. FOREIGN EXCHANGE POLICYTransactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the Income Statement.

c. Deferred Funding for PensionsThe Board recognises these amounts as an asset corresponding to the unfunded deferred liability for pensions on the basis of the set of assumptions described above and a number of past events. These events include the statutory backing for the establishment of the pension scheme, and the policy and practice in relation to funding public service pensions including contributions by employees and the annual estimates process. The Board has no evidence that this funding policy will not continue to meet such sums in accordance with current practice. The Net Deferred Funding for Pensions recognised in Income and Expenditure Account was as follows. The Net Deferred Funding for Pensions recognised in Income and Expenditure Account was as follows:

e. General Description of the SchemeThe pension scheme is a defined benefit final salary pension arrangement with benefits and contributions defined by reference to current “model” public sector scheme regulations. The scheme provides a pension (eightieths per year of service), a gratuity or lump sum (three eightieths per year of service) and spouse’s and children’s pensions. Normal retirement age is a member’s 65th birthday, and pre 2004 members have an entitlement to retire without actuarial reduction from age 60. Pensions in payment (and deferment) normally increase in line with general public sector salary inflation.

The new Single Public Service Pension Scheme (“Single Scheme”) commenced with effect from 1 January 2013. All new entrants to pensionable public service employment on or after 1 January 2013 are, in general, members of the Single Scheme. The rules of the Single Scheme are set down in the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012. Pension liabilities in relation to those individuals employed under the Single Scheme have not been included into the 2014 pensions calculation as they will not accrue pension rights until they have served for 2 years.

The valuation used for FRS 17 (Revised) Disclosures has been based on a full actuarial valuation at each date performed by an independent qualified actuary to take account of the requirements of FRS 17 in order to assess the scheme liabilities at 31 December 2014.

APPENDIX 4

PRINCIPLES & CRITERIA

In addition to focusing on the editorial and creative merits of a project, BSÉ/IFB’s funding programmes are guided by some fundamental principles which form the basis of the decision-making process. These principles are:1. Making Cinema

2. Accessing Audiences

3. Originality

4. Additionality

5. Developing Talent, Cultural & Industrial Priorities

6. Further Considerations

These are explained in more detail below. Some further considerations that may influence a decision in favour of one project over another are also set out below.

1. MAKING CINEMABecause it is the only source of public funding for feature films directed towards a cinema release, Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board’s primary objective is to encourage, sustain and promote work in Ireland that is made to be shown on the big screen. In addition, BSÉ/IFB also has as part of its aims and objectives the support of certain other high-quality audiovisual works.

In addition to continuing its commitment to live-action feature films, this means:

Documentaries will be rigorously assessed in terms of their potential to achieve theatrical release, stimulate interest from international film festivals or engage on new and emerging platforms. Preference will be given to visual, cinematic ‘feature documentaries’; films aimed at a one-hour TV slot or shorter, with little or no international appeal, are unlikely to be supported. Emphasis will be placed on backing directors, writers and producers whose careers to date clearly demonstrate a strong commitment to making cinematic documentaries. Besides BSÉ/

IFB’s commitment to cinema, this approach is also designed to respond to the manifest increase in theatrical audiences’ desire to see documentaries

Animation feature films and television series will be provided with funding in recognition of the importance of Irish work in this field, the narrowness of the theatrical market that exists for animated features and the very limited funding from broadcasters for animated television series. Preference will be given to original work from Irish talent that appears to be sufficiently inventive and striking to measure up to the big-screen format and/or international television and other distribution.

Television drama, whether singles or series, will be rigorously assessed and may be funded for its inherent quality, but other factors will also come into play. Strong emphasis will be placed on backing directors, writers and producers whose careers to date clearly demonstrate an ability to make dramatic works or who, in the view of BSÉ/IFB, are headed for a career in feature-film or high-quality television drama production. Furthermore, BSÉ/IFB will need to be convinced that its financial involvement is crucial to the realisation of the programme or series and that the contribution from the broadcaster is commensurate with the seat of editorial control. BSÉ/IFB will also expect to contribute editorially to the development of this content.

2. ACCESSING AUDIENCESBSÉ/IFB is increasingly focused on ensuring that funding decisions will favour projects that are clearly targeted at the appropriate audience. This does not mean that BSÉ/IFB is only interested in supporting material with commercial prospects, but instead that it is open to considering projects that may appeal to a wide spectrum of viewers, be they commercial, arthouse, festival-going or on television etc. Particular emphasis will be paid to a project’s potential to engage its intended audience as well as the planned approach and scale of the project.

APPENDIX 3 DETAILS OF LOAN CONDITIONS

(A) DEVELOPMENT FUNDSDevelopment Loans are advanced on a phased payment basis with approximately 50-60% paid on satisfactory execution of Development Loan contracts between the Board and the Producer, the balance being paid upon compliance with specific conditions outlined by the Board. Loans for development are up to a maximum of €100,000, €50,000 at any one time. Teams or individuals (producer/ director/script-writer) may apply. The Producer is obliged to repay the Advance to the Board on the first day of principal photography. These should be seen as development/ feasibility loans; the Board makes every effort to track these monies and provides information and support for independent producers seeking other potential production partners. Some of the projects receiving development loans from the Board will not proceed into production and may eventually have to be written off. However, all projects which are successfully brought to fruition, are closely monitored by the Board and collection of monies due is actively pursued.

(B) PRODUCTION LOANSThe Board’s involvement takes the form of investment in the production and in its sales for cinema, television, video and ancillary markets (cable, satellite, home box-office etc.) both in Ireland and worldwide. The investment is not subject to interest; rigorous measures for recoupment and profit participation are applied. All offers of investment are ‘in principle’ and subject to contract.

3. ORIGINALITYBSÉ/IFB funding will be directed to supporting projects that are original and of high quality, and that bring to cinema, though the talents of Irish writers, directors, producers and other Irish personnel, a different and distinctly Irish talent-driven cultural experience. Funding decisions will favour those Irish writers and directors, producers and other personnel who bring to film a distinctive voice and a strongly individual view of the world, and who create works that give a new and/or reinvigorated sensation to that experience.

These requirements do not mean that existing forms or genres of film will be avoided, but instead that the Irish writers, directors and producers supported will bring a fresh approach and new thinking to these forms or genres of films. Given the limited capacity for market and other funding of film in Ireland, Irish talent will need to be able to work with talent from other countries on projects being funded by BSÉ/IFB, and originality will continue to be factored in as part of the assessment of the combined talents of all parties involved.

4. DEVELOPING TALENT, CULTURAL & INDUSTRIAL PRIORITIESConsistent with its government remit and responding to the present perceived needs of the Irish audiovisual production industry, BSÉ/IFB considers that certain projects, in terms of their content, provenance or benefit to the industry, represent clear priorities for its funding.

Strong preference will be given to submissions on behalf of projects which:• Are of Irish initiation in a creative sense; that is, conceived, written, produced and/ or to be directed by Irish talents• Entail new and emerging Irish talent in key creative roles, i.e. director, writer, producer, composer, principal actor• Tell Irish stories, drawing on and depicting Ireland’s culture, history, way of life, view of the world and of itself

Serious attention will also be paid to submissions which:• Propose a strongly Irish project (in terms of setting, characters,etc.) that is to be directed by a non-Irish talent, where BSÉ/IFB regards the director’s track record as an assurance of quality• Involve an Irish producer as minority co-producer of a film, documentary or drama television programme or series, where (a) BSÉ/IFB is convinced of the quality of the project and

(b) The amount of BSÉ/IFB’s investment corresponds to the level of involvement of Irish personnel, elements and facilities in the project.

Submissions on behalf of works to be made wholly or predominantly in the Irish language will continue to be particularly welcomed by BSÉ/IFB.

BSÉ/IFB will always be vigilant in ensuring that films and high-quality drama and animation television programmes and series in which it invests entail a high volume of expenditure on Irish personnel and in the Irish industry, and this aspect of a submission is likely to play a material part in a positive decision. It will not be a decisive factor in itself, however, where BSÉ/IFB is not convinced by the quality of a project or where the project does not comply with any of the other priorities set out above. This is dealt with in more detail under Further Considerations below.

5. ADDITIONALITYAn essential rationale for making public money available to an industry is that it should create activity that would not otherwise occur, i.e. that the market, left to itself, would not engender. It follows that audiovisual works backed by BSÉ/IFB should be those that would not be made, or would not be made with the same level of benefit to Ireland, unless enabled to do so with the support of the BSÉ/IFB. Such audiovisual works and the benefits that flow from them represent ‘additional’ economic activity.

This does not mean that BSÉ/IFB is interested only in supporting material with limited commercial prospects. There is a wealth of evidence in our audiovisual history to show that the successes are frequently ground-breaking films. BSÉ/IFB will give energetic backing to producers who display an ambition to achieve market success and to projects that display an awareness of the market while at the same time providing a challenge to existing perceptions of what the marketplace expects..

6. FURTHER CONSIDERATIONSThe guiding principles described above should give applicants an insight into the way in which BSÉ/IFB’s executives and advisors assess a project from the point of view of its content and the creative team involved. In assessing production funding applications, other factors may come into play concerning the economic effects of the project, the financial arrangements and the prospects of reaching audiences.

MOSCOW NEVER SLEEPS

Where BSÉ/IFB does not consider that a project adheres to any of the guiding principles, these other factors will not, in themselves, be sufficient to secure an offer of funding. But in the case of a project where the content and creative team are seen as persuasive, the following considerations may affect the outcome between BSÉ/IFB and the producers as to the level of BSÉ/IFB’s investment and the way in which the work will be financed, produced and distributed:

Track record of the producer

• Has the producer managed and delivered audiovisual works in a professional and efficient manner before?• Has BSÉ/IFB had good previous experience of dealing with the producer and the creative team?• In a co-production, do any of the non-Irish producers involved have good professional track records?

Irish employment

• Are the key creative and technical positions to be filled by Irish personnel?• In a co-production, is the proportion of these appropriate?• Will the production offer employment to Irish personnel across all possible grades?

Spend in the Irish economy

• Will the work be made in Ireland?• Will the project make extensive use of Irish production and post-production facilities?• Will the project attract inward investment into the Irish economy?

Sales and Distribution

• Is an international sales agent attached to the sale of the film or television programme or series?• Does the film have an Irish distributor?• Are any sales agents, distributors or broadcasters providing production finance?

Financial structure

• Are the proposed co-financiers of the film or television programme reliable?• Will the proposed financing arrangements allow BSÉ/IFB to negotiate a reasonable recoupment position?• Will there be reasonable transparency of accounting with regard to sales revenues, e.g. by use of a collection agent?

It should be emphasised that for a project to be offered production funding, it is not necessary for all of these questions to be answered affirmatively. But negative answers to a high proportion of them could undermine a strongly positive disposition on the part of BSÉ/IFB towards the creative aspects of a project. At the very least, a mix of affirmative and negative answers will provoke discussion as to the extent and manner of BSÉ/IFB’s commitment.

Cinema Distribution

Some BSÉ/IFB funding programmes have specific criteria of their own and are not necessarily governed by all of the principles set out above. Distribution Support is provided to Irish distributors of BSÉ/IFB-backed films who demonstrate that funding from BSÉ/IFB will enhance the promotion of a film in the Irish market. Direct Distribution/Exhibition Support is provided to Irish producers to help defray the cost of a limited theatrical release in Ireland (including Northern Ireland) for feature films already in receipt of BSÉ/IFB production funding that have been unable to secure suitable theatrical distribution by a bona fide Irish distribution company but that still have clear potential to reach and engage an Irish audience.

ARD-REACHTAIRE CUNTAS AGUS CISTETUARASCÁIL LE CUR FAOI BHRÁID TITHE AN OIREACHTAIS

BORD SCANNÁN NA HÉIREANNTá ráitis airgeadais Bhord Scannán na hÉireann/The Irish Film Board don bhliain dar críoch 31 Nollaig 2014 iniúchta agam de réir an Achta um Bord Scannán na hÉireann 1980. Tá na ráitis airgeadais, a ullmhaíodh faoi na beartais chuntasaíochta arna leagan amach sna ráitis, comhdhéanta den Ráiteas faoi Beartais Chuntasaíochta, an Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais, an Clár Comhardaithe agus na nótaí gaolmhara. Is é an creat thuairisciú airgeadais a cuireadh i bhfeidhm chun iad a ullmhú ná an dlí a bhaineann agus na Cleachtais Chuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leo go Coitianta in Éirinn.

FREAGRACHTAÍ CHOMHALTAÍ AN BHOIRD Tá an Bord freagrach as na ráitis airgeadais a ullmhú, as a chinntiú go dtugann siad léargas fíor agus cothrom maidir leis an riocht ghóthaí Oifig Choimisinéir na dTeangacha Oifigiúla agus ar a ioncam agus a chaiteachas, agus as rialtacht a n-idirbhearta a chinntiú.

FREAGRACHTAÍ AN ARD-REACHTAIRE CUNTAS AGUS CISTEIs é mo fhreagrachtsa na ráitis airgeadais a iniúchadh agus tuairisciú a dhéanamh orthu i gcomhréir leis an dlí a bhaineann. Déantar m’iniúchadh faoi réir na gcúrsaí speisialta a bhaineann le comhlachtaí Stáit ó thaobh a mbainistiú agus a bhfeidhmiú de.

Déantar m’iniúchadh i gcomhréir le Caighdeáin Chuntasaíochta Idirnáisiúnta (Ríocht Aontaithe agus Éire) agus de réir Caighdeán Eiticiúla d’Iniúchóirí de chuid an Bhoird um Chleachtais Iniúchóireachta.

SCÓIP AN INIÚCHTA AR RÁITIS AIRGEADAISIs éard atá i gceist le hiniúchadh ná faisnéis a fháil maidir leis na suimeanna agus na nochtuithe sna ráitis airgeadais, ar leor iad chun urrús réasúnta a thabhairt go bhfuil na ráitis airgeadais saor ó mhí-ráiteas ábhartha cibé calaois nó earráid is cúis leis sin. Clúdaíonn sé seo measúnú faoi• Cibé an bhfuil na beartais chuntasaíochta cuí do chúinsí an Bhoird agus gur cuireadh i bhfeidhm iad go seasmhach agus gur nochtaíodh iad go leormhaith,• Cé chomh réasúnta is a bhí na meastacháin chuntasaíochta shuntasacha a rinneadh agus na ráitis airgeadais á n-ullmhú, agus• Thíolachadh foriomlán na ráiteas airgeadais. Déanaim iarracht freisin fianaise a fháil le linn an iniúchta maidir le rialtacht na n-idirbhearta airgeadais.

TUAIRIM FAOI NA RÁITIS AIRGEADAISIs é mo thuairim, go dtugann na ráitis airgeadais, a ullmhaíodh go cuí i gcomhréir le Cleachtais Cuntasaíochta a nGlactar Leis go Coitianta in Éirinn, léargas fíor agus cothrom maidir leis an riocht ghnóthaí Oifig Choimisinéir na dTeangacha Oifigiúla ag 31 Nollaig 2010 agus ar a ioncam agus ar a chaiteachas don bhliain dar críoch sin.

Is é mo thuairim, gur choimeád Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board leabhair chuntais chuí. Tá na ráitis airgeadaisag teacht leis na leabhair chuntais.

NITHE A TUAIRISCÍM LE hEISCEACHTTuairiscím le heisceacht i gcás:• Nach bhfuair mé an fhaisnéis agus na mínithe go léir a bhí de dhíth orm le haghaidh m’iniúchta, nó• Gur nótáladh san iniúchadh aon chás ábhartha nuair nár úsáideadh suimeanna airgid chun na feidhmeanna a bhí beartaithe dóibh nó nach ndearnadh na hidirbhearta de réir na n-údarás a rialaíonn iad, nó• Nach bhfuil an fhaisnéis a tugadh i dTuarascáil Bhliantúil an Bhoird don bhliain ar ullmhaíodh na ráitis airgeadais dóibh i gcomhréir leis na ráitis airgeadais, nó • Nach léiríonn an Ráiteas um Rialú Inmheánach Airgeadais go gcomhlíonann an Bord an Cód Cleachtais maidir le Rialachas ar Chomhlachtaí Stáit, nó• Go bhfaighim amach go bhfuil cúrsaí ábhartha eile ann a bhaineann leis an gcaoi inar cuireadh gnó poiblí i gcrích.

Níl aon ní le tuairisciú agam maidir leis na cúrsaí sin faoina ndéantar tuairisc le heisceacht.

Tá an Scéim á feidhmiú ar bhonn riaracháin ar feitheamh faomhadh ón Aire Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe.

Ríomhtar dliteanais na Scéime Pinsean ar bhonn achtúireachta agus modh chreidiúint réamh-mheasta an aonaid á úsáid.

De réir an Achta um Pinsin na Seirbhíse Poiblí (Scéim Aonair agus Forálacha Eile) 2012 glactar le hiontrálaithe nua ar nó i ndiaidh 1 Eanáir 2013 mar bhaill de Scéim Aonair Pinsin na Seirbhíse Poiblí.

Léiríonn costais phinsin na sochair a thuilleann fostaithe le linn na tréimhse agus taispeántar iad glan ar ranníocaíochtaí pinsean foirne a n-áirítear mar íocaíochtaí inaisíoctha leis an Roinn de réir socruithe airgeadais gníomhaireachta. Aithnítear suim atá i gcomhréir leis an muirear pinsin mar ioncam sa mhéid is go bhfuil sé in-aisghabhála agus fritháirithe i gcoinne deontas a bhfuarthas iad i rith na bliana le híocaíochtaí pinsin a dhéanamh.

Léirítear gnóthachain nó caillteanais achtúireacha a éiríonn as athruithe ar thoimhdí Achtúireachta agus as gnóthachain agus caillteanais ó thaithí sa Ráiteas Ghnóthachan agus Caillteanas Aitheanta don bhliain ina dtarlaíonn siad agus aithnítear coigeartú dá réir maidir leis an méid inaisghabháilte i dtréimhsí atá le teacht ón Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta.

Léiríonn dliteanais pinsin an luach atá faoi láthair ar íocaíochtaí pinsean amach anseo atá tuillte ag an bhfoireann go dtí seo. Léiríonn maoiniú pinsin iarchurtha an sócmhainn chomhréireach a bheidh inaisghabháilte sa todchaí ón Roinn Ealaíon, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta.

G. BEARTAS MAIDIR LE hAIRGEADRA EACHTRACHAistrítear idirbhearta atá ainmnithe in airgeadra eachtrach go dtí na hairgeadraí feidhmiúla faoi seach de réir na rátaí malairte ar dhátaí na n-idirbhearta. Aistrítear sócmhainní agus dliteanais airgeadaíochta atá ainmnithe in airgeadra eachtrach ar dháta a dtuairiscithe go dtí an airgeadra feidhmiúil ar an ráta malairte ar an dáta sin. Cuirtear san áireamh mar ghnóthachan nó mar chaillteanas malairte sa Ráiteas Ioncaim aon ghnóthachan nó caillteanas a éiríonn de bharr athruithe ar na rátaí malairte tar éis dáta an idirbhearta.

BEARTAIS CHUNTASAÍOCHTA

A. BUNÚS NA CUNTASAÍOCHTA Áirítear leis na ráitis airgeadais dhá Chuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais agus Clár Comhardaithe.

• Tugann an Cuntas Caipitil Ioncaim agus Caiteachais taifead ar íocaíocht amach iasachtaí forbartha agus léiriúcháin an Bhoird agus íocaíochtaí caipitil eile. Tugann sé taifead freisin ar na híocaíochtaí a dhéanann Screen Training Ireland i dtaca le hoiliúint agus forbairt d’earnálacha scaileán Éireannacha (Nóta 17).

• Tugann an Cuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais Riaracháin taifead ar na hidirbhearta riaracháin i ndáil leis an mBord agus le Screen Training Ireland.

Ullmhaítear na ráitis airgeadais de réir choinbhinsiún an chostais stairiúil agus de réir an Chleachtais Cuntasaíochta a bhfuil Glacadh Leis (GAAP) ar bhonn fabhraithe ach amháin mar a luaitear thíos. Glactar le Caighdeáin i dtaca le Tuairisciú Airgeadais a mholann comhlachtaí cuntasaíochta de réir mar a thagann siad i bhfeidhm.

Aistriú Oibríochtaí I Mí Eanáir 2013 d’aistrigh an seisear foirne a bhí fostaithe ag Screen Training Ireland go dtí Bórd Scannán na hÉireann de réir aistriú fhoirmeálta gníomhaíochta tar éis chinneadh an rialtais FÁS a dhíscaoileadh agus Solas a bhunú mar an t-údarás nua i dtaca le breis-oideachas agus oiliúint.

Tá a chóras airgeadais féin ag Screen Training Ireland agus cuireann sé a chuid ráitis airgeadais ar fáil a ndéantar iad ansin a chomhdhlúthú le cuntais BSÉ/IFB. Íocann BSÉ/ IFB tuarastail foirne Screen Training Ireland. Nochtar gach caiteachas riaracháin eile i Nóta 18.

B. IONCAMLéiríonn an t-ioncam a thaispeántar sna ráitis airgeadais faoi Dheontais Oireachtais an t-airgead iarbhír a fuarthas. Cuirtear ioncam eile san áireamh ar bhonn fabhraithe.

C. IASACHTAÍCuireann an Bord iasachtaí léiriúcháin ar fáil chun cabhrú le scannáin a léiriú. Braitheann aisíocaíochtaí agus aischuir ar rath tráchtála na scannán lena mbaineann siad.

Tugtar iasachtaí forbartha do dhéantóirí scannán d’fhonn tionscadail scannán a fhorbairt. Bíonn aisíocaíochtaí iníoctha de réir théarmaí na gcomhaontuithe iasachta.

Go hiondúil ní bhíonn na hiasachtaí sin faoi réir mhuirir úis, ach bíonn bearta aisghabháilte agus rannpháirtíocht brabúis san áireamh leo.

Déanann an Bord athbhreithniú ar iasachtaí ar bhonn tréimhsiúil agus déantar soláthar cuí i gcoinne iasachtaí gan aisíoc, bunaithe ar fheidhmíocht stairiúil leabhar iasachta an Bhoird. Déantar an soláthar a chuntasú tríd an gCúlchiste Caipitil.

D. CÚLCHISTE CAIPITIL Léiríonn an Cúlchiste Caipitil an maoiniú a infheistítear i Scannáin agus i Sócmhainní Seasta tar éis soláthar agus amúchadh.

c. Sócmhainn Maoiniúcháin Iarchurtha do Phinsin Aithníonn an Bord na suimeanna seo mar shócmhainn gurb ionann í agus an dliteanas iarchurtha neamh-mhaoinithe i dtaca le pinsin bunaithe ar an réimse bonn tuisceana a bhfuil cur síos déanta orthu thuas agus ar líon áirithe ócáidí a tharla cheana. I measc na n-ócáidí sin tá an tacaíocht reachtúil do bhunú na scéime pinsin, agus an polasaí agus an cleachtas maidir le pinsin seirbhíse poiblí a mhaoiniú lena n-áirítear ranníocaíochtaí na bhfostaithe agus an próiséas bliantúil meastacháin. Níl aon fhianaise ag an mBord nach leanfaidh an polasaí sin ar aghaidh ag comhlíonadh na suimeanna sin de réir an chleachtais reatha.

Is mar seo a leanas a bhí an Maoiniú Iarchurtha le haghaidh Pinsean aitheanta sa Chuntas Ioncaim agus Caiteachais:

e. Cur Síos Ginearálta ar an ScéimSocrú pinsean tuarastail dheiridh sochar sainithe is ea an scéim pinsean le sochair agus ranníocaíochtaí a sainmhínítear iad trí thagairt a dhéanamh do na rialúcháin reatha i dtaca le scéimeanna ‘eiseamláracha’ don earnáil phoiblí. Soláthraíonn an scéim pinsean (ochtóidí do gach bliain seirbhíse), aisce nó cnapshuim (trí ochtóidí do gach bliain seirbhíse) agus pinsin do chéilí agus do leanaí. Go hiondúil is é an 65ú breithlá dáta scoir an bhaill agus tá teidlíocht ag baill a bhí sa scéim roimh 2004 scor ó aois 60 gan aon laghdú achtúireachta. Go hiondúil meadaíonn pinsin atá á n-íoc agus pinsin iarchurtha de réir boilsciú tuarastal ginearálta san earnáil phoiblí.

Tugadh feidhm do Scéim Aonair Pinsin na Seirbhíse Poiblí (“An Scéim Aonair”) ar an 1 Eanáir 2013. Go hiondúil, is ball den Scéim Aonair gach iontrálaí nua i bhfostaíocht inphinsin sa tseirbhís phoiblí ó 1 Eanáir 2013.Leagtar amach rialacha na Scéime Aonair san Acht um Pinsin na Seirbhíse Poiblí (Scéim Aonair agus Forálacha Eile) 2012. Níl dliteanais phinsin a bhaineann leis na daoine sin a fostaíodh faoin Scéim Aonair curtha san áireamh i ríomh na bpinsean don bhliain 2014 toisc nach bhfabhróidh siad cearta pinsin go dtí go mbeidh dhá bhliain fostaíochta caite acu.

Bunaíodh an luacháil a úsáideadh le haghaidh faisnéisithe FRS 17 (leasaithe) ar luacháil iomlán achtúireach a chuir achtúire neamhspleách i gcríoch ag cur riachtanas FRS 17 san áireamh chun measúnú a dhéanamh ar dhliteanais na scéime ar an 31 Nollaig 2014.

WHEN HENRY MET YOUNG ONES

AGUISÍN 3 SONRAÍ MAIDIR LE COINNÍOLLACHA IASACHTAÍ

(A) IASACHTAÍ FORBARTHA

Airleactar Iasachtaí Forbartha ar bhonn íocaíocht chéimithe agus íoctar tuairim is 50-60% nuair a chuirtear conarthaí Iasachta Forbartha idir an Bord agus an Léiritheoir i gcríoch go sásúil, agus íoctar an iarmhéid nuair a chomhlíontar coinníollacha sonracha a mbeidh socraithe ag an mBord. Is fiú suas go dtí uasmhéid de €100,000 iad iasachtaí forbartha, ar féidir suas go dtí €50,000 a íoc ag aon am áirithe faoi leith. Is féidir le foirne nó le daoine aonair (léiritheoir/stiúrthóir/scríbhneoir scripte) iarratas a dhéanamh. Tá ceanglas ar an léiritheoir an t-airgead a airleacadh a aisíoc ar an gcéad lá príomhscannánaíochta. Ba chóir go bhfeicfí iad seo mar iasachtaí forbartha/indéantachta; Déanann an Bord gach iarracht rianadh a dhéanamh ar an t-airgead agus soláthraíonn sé faisnéis agus tacaíocht do léiritheoirí neamhspleácha a bhfuil comhpháirtithe ionchais léiriúcháin á lorg acu . Ní éireoidh le cuid de na tionscadail a gheobhaidh tacaíocht ón mBord leanúint ar aghaidh go dtí céim an léiriúcháin agus d’fhéadfadh sé tarlú i ndeireadh na dála go gcaithfear iad a dhíscríobh. Déanann an Bord monatóireacht, áfach, ar na tionscadail a dtugtar chun críche go rathúil iad agus éilítear go gníomhach aon airgead atá dlite.

(B) IASACHTAÍ LÉIRIÚCHÁIN

Tagann rannpháirtíocht an Bhoird i bhfoirm infheistíochta sa léiriúchán agus ina chuid díolacháin do mhargaidh cineama, teilifíse, físeáin agus margaidh coimhdeacha (cábla, saitilít, scannán baile etc.) in Éirinn agus ar fud an domhain. Níl an infheistíocht faoi réir úis; cuirtear dian-bhearta i dtaca le haisghabháil agus rannpháirtíocht i mbrabús i bhfeidhm. Tá gach tairiscint ar infheistíocht ‘i bprionsabal‘ agus faoi réir conartha.

64 65AGUISÍN 4 PRIONSABAIL AGUS CRITÉIR

Chomh maith le díriú ar bhuanna eagarthóireachta agus cruthaitheacha tionscadail, tá roinnt bunphrionsabal atá mar bhonn ag a chritéir cinnteoireachta a threoraíonn cláir chistíochta BSÉ/IFB. Is iad na prionsabail sin:

1. Cineama a Dhéanamh

2. Rochtain a fháil ar Lucht Féachana

3. Úrmhaireacht

4. Breisíocht

5. Tosaíochtaí Talainn, Cultúir agus Tionscail a Fhorbairt

6. Cúrsaí Eile

Mínítear iad sin thíos ar bhealach níos mionsonraithe. Leagtar amach thíos freisin roinnt comaoineacha eile a d’fhéadfadh tionchar a bheith acu ar chinneadh i bhfábhar tionscadail amháin seachas ceann eile.

1. CINEAMA A DHÉANAMH Toisc gurb é an t-aon fhoinse amháin a chuireann maoiniú poiblí ar fáil do phríomhscannáin atá dírithe ar eisiúint cineama, is é an príomh-chuspóir atá ag Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board saothar a spreagadh, a chothú agus a chur chun cinn in Éirinn a dhéantar é lena thaispeáint ar an scáileán mór. Ina theannta sin, tá sé mar ghné dá chuid spriocanna agus cuspóirí ag Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board tacaíocht a thabhairt do roinnt áirithe saothar eile closamhairc atá ar ard-chaighdeán. I dteannta leanúint ar aghaidh lena thiomantas i dtaca le príomhscannáin bheoghníomhaíochta, ciallaíonn sé sin: Go ndéanfar dianmheasúnú ar scannáin faisnéise ó thaobh na hacmhainne atá acu éisiúint cineama a bhaint amach, ó thaobh na hacmhainne atá acu spéis a spreagadh ó fhéiltescannán idirnáisiúnta nó ó thaobh na hacmhainne atá acu go dtaispeánfaí iad ar léibhinn nua atá ag teacht chun cinn. Tabharfar tús áite do ‘phríomhscannáin faisnéise’; ní

dócha go dtabharfar tacaíocht do scannáin cineamatacha, físeacha, atá dírithe ar shliotáin d’uair an chloig amháin nó níos giorra agus nach bhfuil acu ach beagán ábhar spéise idirnáisiúnta nó nach ábhar spéise idirnáisiúnta iad in aon chor. Leagfar an bhéim ar thacaíocht a thabhairt do stiúrthóirí, scríbhneoirí agus léiritheoirí a léiríonn a gcuid saothair go dtí seo go bhfuil tiomantas láidir acu i dtaobh scannáin faisnéise a dhéanamh don cineama. I dteannta thiomantas BSÉ/IFB maidir le cineama, tá an cur chuige sin ceaptha freagairt a thabhairt don méadú follasach i mian an lucht féachana cineama scannáin faisnéise a fheiceáil.

Tabharfar maoiniú do phríomhscannáin agus sraitheanna teilifíse beochana mar aitheantas do thábhacht an saothair Éireannaigh sa réimse sin, do chaoile an mhargadh pictiúrlainne atá ann do phríomhscannáin bheochana agus don maoiniú thar a bheith teoranta ó chraoltóirí do shraitheanna teilifíse beochana. Tabharfar tús áite do shaothar úrnua ó thalann Éireannach a bhfuil an Cuma air go bhfuil sé cruthaitheach agus sonrach a dhóthain le go gcuirfí in oiriúint é d’fhormáid an mhórscáileáin agus/nó do theilifís idirnáisiúnta nó do dháileachán eile.

Déanfar dianmheasúnú ar dhrámaíocht teilifíse, bíodh siad ina gcláir aonair nó ina sraitheanna agus d’fheadfaí go dtabharfaí maoiniú dóibh de bharr a gcáilíochtaí bunúsacha, ach tiocfaidh tosca eile isteach san áireamh freisin. Cuirfear béim láidir ar thacaíocht a thacaíócht a thabhairt do stiúrthóirí, scríbhneoirí agus léiritheoirí a bhfuil sé cruthaithe acu roimhe seo go bhfuil an cumas acu saothair drámaíochta drámaíochta a dhéanamh nó a bhfuil, i dtuairim an BSÉ/IFB, chun gairm bheatha a dhéanamh dóibh féin i léiriúchán príomhscannán nó drámaíocht teilifíse ar ard-chaighdeán. Ina theannta sin, beidh sé riachtanach go mbeadh BSÉ/IFB sásta go bhfuil a rannpháirtíocht ríthábhachtach leis an gclár nó an sraith a

chur i gcríoch agus go bhfuil rannpháirtíocht an chraoltóra ar comhéid le suíomh an rialaithe eagarthóireachta. Beidh BSÉ/IFB ag súil freisin rannpháirtíocht eagarthóireachta a bheith aige maidir le forbairt an ábhair sin.

2. ROCHTAIN AR LUCHT FÉACHANA Níos mó agus níos mó tá BSÉ/IFB dírithe ar a chinntiú go mbeidh cinntí maoiniúcháin i bhfábhar tionscadal a bhfuil lucht féachana cuí mar sprioc acu. Ní chiallaíonn sé sin nach bhfuil spéis ag BSÉ/IFB ach i dtacaíocht a thabhairt d’ábhar a bhfuil ionchais tráchtála ag baint leo ach ina ionad sin go bhfuil sé sásta tionscadail a mheas a d’fhéadfadh speictream leathan den lucht faire spéis a bheith acu iontu, bídís ina dtionscadail tráchtála, ealaíne, dírithe ar fhéilte nó ar an dteilifís atc. Tabharfar aird faoi leith ar acmhainneacht tionscadail dul i ngleic leis an lucht féachana ar a bhfuil sé dírithe chomh maith leis an gcur chuige agus an scála atá i gceist leis an dtionscadal.

3. ÚRNUACHT Díreofar maoiniú BSÉ/IFB ar thacaíocht a thabhairt do thionscadail atá úrnua agus ar ardchaighdeán, agus a thugann go dtí na pictiúrlanna, trí thalainn scríbhneoirí, stiúrthóirí, léiritheoirí agus foirne oibre Éireannacha eile, taithí cultúrtha atá difriúil agus tiomáinte ag talann atá go sonrach Éireannach. Beidh cinntí maoiniúcháin ar son na scríbhneoirí agus na stiúrthóirí, na léiritheoirí agus an pearsanra eile a thugann chuig an scannánaíocht guth atá sainiúil agus dearcadh láidir faoi leith i dtaobh an tsaoil, agus a chruthaíonn saothair a chuireann mothúchán nua agus/nó athspreagtha sa dtaithí sin.

Ní chiallaíonn na riachtanais sin go seachnófar cineálacha nó séanraí atá ann cheana féin ach seachas sin go dtabharfaidh na scríbhneoirí, stiúrthóirí agus na léiritheoirí a thugtar tacaíocht dóibh cur chuige nua agus smaointeoireacht nua go dtí na cineálacha nó na séanraí scannán sin. Nuair a chuirtear an acmhainn teoranta atá in Éirinn le maoiniú a tabhairt do mhargaíocht scannán agus do mhaoiniú eile, beidh sé riachtanach go mbeidh sé ar chumas thalainn Éireannaigh obair a dhéanamh le talann ó thíortha eile ar thionscadail a mbeidh maoiniú á fháil acu ó BSÉ/IFB, agus cuirfear úrnuacht i gcónaí san áireamh mar chuid den mheasúnú ar chumas cónasctha na bpáirtithe uilig a bhfuil baint acu le tionscadal. 4. TOSAÍOCHTAÍ TALLAINNE, CULTÚIR AGUS TIONSCAIL A FHORBAIRT Go comhsheasmhach lena théarmaí tagartha ón Rialtas agus ag freagairt do riachtanais thionscal léiriúcháin chlosamhairc mar a fheictear iad in Éirinn faoi láthair, tá BSÉ/.IFB den tuairim go léiríonn tionscadail áirithe, ó thaobh a n-inneachair, foinsí nó tairbhe don tionscal, tosaíochtaí soiléire dá chuid maoiniúcháin.

Tabharfar tús áite d’iarratais ar son tionscadal:

• A ‘tionscnaíodh in Éirinn’ ó thaobh na cruthaitheachta de; is é sin le rá gur cheap agus gur scríobh tallanna Éireannacha iad agus/nó go stiúróidh tallanna Éireannacha iad. • A mbeidh talann nua agus talann Éireannach atá ag teacht chun cinn i gceist acu i bpríomhróil chruthaitheacha, i.e.stiúrthóir, scríbhneoir, léiritheoir, cumadóir, príomhaisteoir. • A insíonn scéalta Éireannacha, a tharraingíonn as agus a léiríonn cultúr, stair agus modh maireachtála na hÉireann agus an chaoi a fhéachann muintir na hÉireann ar an saol agus orthu féin.

Tabharfar aird dáiríre ar iarratais: • A mholann tionscadal atá go soiléir Éireannach (ó thaobh suímh, carachtar, etc. de) ach a bheidh á stiúradh ag talann nach as Éireann é, i gcás go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go gcinntíonn teist an stiúrthóra go dtí seo go mbeidh ardchaighdeán ann.• A mbíonn léiritheoir Éireannach i gceist mar chomhléiritheoir mionlaigh i gcás (a) go bhfuil BSÉ/IFB iomlán sásta maidir le caighdeán an tionscadail, (b) go bhfuil an méid infheistíochta ar chomhchéim leis an leibhéal rannpháirtíochta a bheidh ag pearsanra, gnéithe agus saoráidí Éireannacha sa dtionscadal. Cuirfidh BSÉ/IFB fáilte faoi leith i gcónaí roimh iarratais ar son saothar a bhfuil sé i gceist iad a dhéanamh go hiomlán nó den chuid is mó trí mheán na Gaeilge. Beidh BSÉ/IFB airdeallach i gcónaí lena chinntiú i gcás scannán a dhéanann sé infheistíocht iontu go ndéantar cuid mhór dá gcaiteachas ar phearsanra Éireannach agus sa dtionscal in Éirinn, agus tá sé dóchúil go mbeidh an gné sin den iarratas an-thábhachtach maidir le cinneadh dearfach a dhéanamh. Ann féin, áfach, ní bheidh sé ina thoisc chinntitheach, i gcás nach bhfuil BSÉ/IFB cinnte dearfach maidir le caighdeán tionscadail, nó i gcás nach comhlíonann an tionscadal aon cheann de na tosaíochtaí leagtha amach thuas ar bhealaí eile. Tugtar níos mó sonraí i dtaca leis an gceist sin faoi na Cúinsí Eile thíos.

5. BREISÍOCHT Réasúnaíocht riachtanach í nuair a chuirtear airgead poiblí ar fáil do thionscal is ea gur chóir go gcruthódh sé gníomhaíocht nach dtarlódh seachas sin i.e. nach nginfeadh an margadh as a stuaim féin é. Dá réir sin ciallaíonn sé gur chóir gur scannáin iad nach ndéanfaí iad nó scannáin nach mbeadh an sochar céanna ag baint leo ó thaobh na hÉireann de, ach amháin i gcás go gcuirfí ar a gcumas é sin a dhéanamh le tacaíocht ó BSÉ/IFB. Léireoidh scannáin den tsaghas sin, agus na sochair a eascróidh uathu, gníomhaíocht eacnamaíochta ‘breise’.

Ní chiallaíonn sé sin nach bhfuil spéis ag BSÉ/IFB ach i dtacaíocht a thabhairt d’ábhair nach bhfuil aige ach ionchas teoranta tráchtála. Tá flúirse fianaise inár stair chlosamhairc a thaispeánann gur minic a tharlaíonn sé gur scannáin atá ceannródaíoch is mó a mbíonn rath orthu. Tabharfaidh BSÉ/IFB tacaíocht fhuinniúil do léiritheoirí a thaispeánann uaillmhian rath a bhaint amach sa mharghadh agus do thionscadail a léiríonn go bhfuil feasacht acu iu dtaobh an mhargaidh agus a thugann dúshlán ag an am gcéanna do na braistintí i dtaca leis an méid a bhfuil an margadh ag súil leis.

6. CÚRSAÍ EILE Ba chóir go dtabharfadh na treoirphrionsabail atá leagtha amach thuas léargas d’iarratasóirí ar an gcaoi a dhéanfaidh feidhmeannaigh agus comhairleoirí BSÉ/IFB measúnú ar thionscadal ó thaobh ábhair de agus ó thaobh na foirne cruthaithigh a bhaineann leis. Agus measúnú á dhéanamh ar iarratais ar mhaoiniú léiriucháin, d’fhéadfaí tosca eile a chur san áireamh, a bhaineann le héifeachtaí eacnamaíochta an tionscadail, na socruithe airgeadais, agus an t-ionchas go n-aimseofar lucht féachana.

Sa chás nach mbíonn BSÉ/IFB den tuairim go gcloíonn tionscadal le haon cheann de na treoirphrionsabail, ní bheidh a ndóthain sna tosca eile sin le tairiscint maoiniúcháin a bhaint amach. Ach i gcás tionscadail ina meastar go bhfuil an t-ábhar agus an fhoireann chruthaitheach áititheach, is féidir leis na cúinsí sin tionchar a bheith acu ar thoradh na hidirbheartaíochta idir BSÉ/IFB agus na léiritheopirí maidir le leibhéal infheistíochta BSÉ/IFB agus ar an gcaoi a dhéanfar an scannán a mhaoiniú, a léiriú agus a dháileadh

Teist gairme an léiritheora go dtí seo

• An ndearna an léiritheoir bainistiú agus seachadadh proifisiúnta agus éifeachtúil ar shaothair chlosamhairc roimhe seo? • An bhfuil dea-thaithí ag BSÉ/IFB roimhe seo maidir le plé a dhéanamh leis an léiritheoir agus leis an bhfoireann chruthaitheach? • I gcás comhléiriúcháin, an bhfuil dea-theist eanna gairme proifisiúnta go dtí seo ag léiritheoiri nach léiritheoirí Éireannacha iad a bhfuil baint acu leis an dtionscadal? Fostaíocht Éireannach

• An mbeidh na príomh-phostanna cruthaitheacha agus teicniúla lena líonadh ag pearsanra Éireannach? • I gcás comhléiriúcháin, an bhfuil an coimheas cuí maidir leo sin? • An dtairgeoidh an léiriúchán fostaíocht do phearsanra Éireannach i ngach grád is féidir?

Caiteachas i ngeilleagar na hÉireann

• An ndéanfar an saothar in Éirinn? • An mbainfidh an tionscadal feidhm fhairsing as saoráidí léiriúcháin agus iar-léiriúcháin in Éirinn? • An meallfaidh an tionscadal infheistiócht isteach i ngeilleagar na hÉireann?

Díolachán agus Dáileachán

• An bhfuil baint ag gníomhaire díolacháin idirnáisiúnta leis an scannán nó leis an gclár nó leis an tsraith teilifíse? • An bhfuil dáileoir Éireannach ag an scannán? • An bhfuil airgeadas léiriúcháin á sholáthar ag aon ghníomhairí díolachain, dáileoirí nó craoltóirí?

Struchtúr Airgeadais

• An bhfuil na comh-airgeadaithe atá á moladh don scannánnó don chlár teilifíse iontaofa? • An gcuirfidh na socruithe airgeadais atá a moladh ar chumas BSÉ/IFB idirbheartaíocht a dhéanamh i dtaca le seasamh réasúnach aisghabhála? • An mbeidh follasacht reasúnach cuntasaíochta i gceist maidir le hioncam díolacháin, e.g. trí ghníomhaire bailiúcháin a úsáid?

Ba chóir a chur in iúl go soiléir nach bhfuil sé riachtanach freagraí dearfacha a thabhairt ar na ceisteanna sin ar fad le go dtairgeofaí maoiniú léiriúcháin do thionscadal. Ach d’fhéadfadh sé tarlú go bhféadfadh coibheas ard freagraí diúltacha an bonn a bhaint de dhearcadh a bheadh go láidir dearfach ó thaobh BSÉ/IFB maidir le gnéithe cruthaitheacha den tionscadal, seachas sin. Ar a laghad ar fad, spreagfaidh meascán de fhreagraí dearfacha agus diúltacha díospóireacht maidir le méid agus modh ghealltanas BSÉ/IFB. Dáileadh Pictiúrlainne

Tá critéir sainiúla dá gcuid féin ag cuid de chláir mhaoiniúcháin BSÉ/IFB agus ní gá go rialódh na prionsabail ar fad atá leagtha amach thuas na cláir sin. Cuirfear Tacaíocht Dáileacháin ar fáil do dháileoirí Éireannacha a dháileann scannáin a bhfuil tacaíocht acu ó BSÉ/IFB agus a léiríonn go bhfeabhsóidh maoiniú ó BSÉ/IFB cur chun cinn scannáin i margadh na hÉireann. CuirtearTacaíocht Dáileacháin Dírigh/Tacaíocht Taispeántais ar fáil do léiritheoirí Éireannacha chun cabhrú le costas eisiúna theoranta príomhscannán a bhfuil maoiniú cheana féin acu ó BSÉ/IFB i margadh na hÉireann (Tuaisceart Éireann san áireamh) agus nach bhfuil ag éirí leo dáileachán sásúil ó chuideachta dáileacháin bona fide Éireannach a chinntiú ach a bhfuil sé soiléir ina gcás go bhfuil an acmhainn acu lucht féachana Éireannach a aimsiú agus a ghabháil, a íoc.
