| The agreement was ratified by the board during a meeting on September 2nd, this came after a meeting of SPI members on August 27th at which consensus on the agreement was achieved. The agreement is applicable for all SPI Member Companies whose productions will start principle photography after 2nd September 2010.
The new agreement lays out guidelines as to crew involvement with Irish SPI Member Company productions, it covers areas such as holiday allowance, working conditions and minimum rates of pay amongst others.
