President and Sabina Higgins attend the Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) Awards Ceremony in Dublin's Convention Centre.
As Minster for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht, in the 1990s, President Higgins oversaw the refunding of An Board Scannáin – The Irish Film Board and the founding of TG4. Since then, the Irish film industry has thrived and a great body of original and inventive Irish work has emerged.
