Film & TV Production in Ireland: A Busy Year so far...
02 Aug 2013 : By Kevin Cronin
'Love/Hate' and 'Vikings' among the 2013 production highlights.
Film and TV production in Ireland has continued to thrive in 2013, as Ireland maintains its status as a high quality filming location for home-grown and international productions through a combination of section 481 tax incentives, world-class facilities and stunning locations that no amount of green screen CGI can replicate.

As we enter the month of August, IFTN presents an overview of some of the production highlights so far this year - from the violent gangland drama of ‘Love/Hate’ and the savage battles of ‘Vikings’ to Cecelia Ahern’s romantic comedy ‘Love, Rosie’ and Ken Loach’s period drama ‘Jimmy’s Hall’.

These productions show that Ireland continues to punch above its weight on the international stage, with all signs indicating that the industry will remain strong into the foreseeable future…

Love/Hate
Stuart Carolan’s IFTA-winning gangland drama has rewritten the rule book on what RTE drama is capable of and delivered an Irish equivalent of ‘The Wire’ that is now enjoying ratings success on Channel 5 in the UK. With filming now complete on season 4, Irish fans have a lot left to look forward to.

Vikings
Although it has yet to air on this side of the Atlantic, Octagon Films’ ‘Vikings’ broke ratings records on the History Channel when it made its debut in the US and is currently midway through production on season 2 in Ashford Studios, Wicklow.
