Gadzooks! Odds And Innards! Politician Comes Through On Promise

The proles have spoken; the falcon has heard the falconer; the squeaky wheel gets the grease; you can put a cat in the oven, but that don't make it a biscuit; you can't make a silk purse out of toilet roll inserts (stop us - we're in a loop!).

In yesterday's budget, Minister for finance Brian Cowen has promised to invest €245m in the arts with The Film Board seeing an increase of 18% in its funding (good news for TToH as we've applied for a First Draft Loan. Get in, my son). Also, Section 481, the tax relief scheme for film and television production, is to be extended until 2012.
