Dr. Annie Doona, Acting Chair of the IFB said: “We very much welcome the additional support awarded by Minister for Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphreys to the IFB today. It will enable us to provide additional funding across all of our development and production programmes as well as supporting new training initiatives which will be put in place in the New Year.
