Hello everyone

 

We have broken 1,000. Now, in our final few days, we are going for more!

 

To everyone who has a chance to sign, thank you so much. If you have yet to sign, please consider doing so. And, where possible, please SHARE. If each of you can get 1 other person to sign, that would be amazing.

 

As the President of Irish Actor's Equity, Gerry O' Brien has stated:

“What many of our colleagues in the US and UK may not be aware of, is that local Irish performers working on US or UK co-productions are signing contracts that may deny them residual payments. Buy-out Contracts. Even when working alongside colleagues from abroad who maybe working on US or UK contracts that provide for structural residual payments. I have not received any residual payments for any work undertaken in my own country since 2000”

 

Thank you all once again.

 

In solidarity

 

Alan
