 Ireland's New Media,Telecoms,Internet & Entertainment Firms Build Up Exports

Irish companies operating in the new media, telecoms, internet and entertainment sector are set to increase their exports by around €125 million this year, according to  Ireland's Minister for Science,Technology & Innovation  Conor Lenihan TD.

Minister Lenihan told  an Enterprise Ireland event in London today that around  60 Irish companies have  already clinched significant export contracts with global operators like Nickelodeon, CBBC, Telefonica, Disney and Vodafone.

The global entertainment and media market, where Irish companies such as Oscar-Nominated Brown Bag films and Cartoon Saloon operate, is expected to grow to €1.2 trillion by the end of this year, the Minister said. 

Cartoon Saloon is also having some success  in more traditional media, as a result of spin off  books and merchandise linked to its oscar nominated animated film "The Book of Kells, which opened in the US on St Patrick's day.

Brown Bag Fil's Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty (pictured) and Cartoon Saloon's The Secret of Kells  are good examples of  Ireland's lively  animation and digital media sector, which  is dynamic and growing in size and in global reputation
