Dublin's Abbey theatre is in hot water over the release of a critical report on the quality of their recent productions! It's supposed to be a world-class playhouse but its productions were not! So let's ask Nostradamus what I'm now going to say! 1,2,3 ... where is the report on the Irish Film Board and the productions they support? What happened to John Carney's Rafters? Why do so many Film Board features have the exact same title? Why did Kirsten Sheridan receive funding whilst serving as a Board member? How many movies funded by the Board return profit? How much again did Perrier's bounty gross in the USA? Why do so many directors of features funded by the Board have foreign names? What happened to Five day shelter (yes, I know there should be a hyphen in that title!) and its director? Why have so many features funded by the Board over the years disappeared? Why has the Board not helped fund a new world-class director (Lenny Abrahamson is not in this category!). Why are so many Irish movies funded by the Board so substandard? Why are there the exact same actors in all of these movies? Why did Graham Cantwell have to emigrate? Actually, scrap the last point!
