Local Fixer Services
Expert local production support and coordination services throughout Ireland.
Here is how this works in practice. Local fixer services give on-the-ground production support in unfamiliar areas, bridging language barriers, cultural differences, and logistical challenges. Ireland's production scene — from Dublin's Georgian streetscapes to the Wild Atlantic Way's dramatic coastline. The Wicklow Mountains' versatile countryside — needs fixers who know Screen Ireland's Section 481 tax credit, county-level permitting, and the logistics of rural and coastal shoots. A fixer's local knowledge of locations, vendors, rules, and customs is invaluable for global shoots shooting across Ireland.
Here is the short of it. We give skilled local fixers who serve as your production's guide, translator, and problem-solver on the ground across Ireland. Our team connects you with fixers who know Irish customs, speak the language, and have set up relationships with vendors, local county councils and Screen Ireland, and communities from Dublin to Galway.

Here is how this works in practice. Local fixing in Ireland means handling a bilingual island with two jurisdictions, four provinces (Leinster, Munster, Connacht, Ulster), thirty-two counties, and a creative ecosystem dense enough to anchor Vikings (six seasons at Ashford Studios Wicklow plus Vikings: Valhalla Netflix), Foundation (Troy Studios Limerick. Apple TV+). The Tudors and Penny Dreadful (Ardmore Studios Bray since 1958).
Here is the short of it. Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi (Skellig Michael UNESCO Kerry), Banshees of Inisherin (Achill Island Mayo and Inishmore Aran Islands), The Wonder, Normal People (Sligo and Trinity College Dublin), and Game of Thrones (Titanic Studios Belfast, the Paint Hall, Tollymore Forest, Castle Ward as Winterfell, Downhill Beach as Dragonstone, Cushendun Caves, Carnlough Harbour). Our fixers run point with Screen Ireland (Bord Scannán na hÉireann) at Dublin HQ, the Galway Film Centre. Cork Film Office. Kerry Film Office. Limerick Film Office, Donegal Film Office, and Northern Ireland Screen in Belfast.
Here is the breakdown. We secure county council clearances across the twenty-six Republic counties and the eleven Northern Ireland councils. Set up An Garda Síochána for road closures and stunt work. Liaise with the Office of Public Works for state-managed heritage sites.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our local network reaches into each corner of the island. In Dublin we run liaison with Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse, Phoenix Park, Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Castle, and the Powerscourt Estate in Wicklow. In Cork we handle the English Market, Blarney Castle, and Cobh's Titanic-era port. In Galway we cover the Latin Quarter, Spanish Arch, Salthill Promenade, and the Aran Islands ferry planning. Along the Wild Atlantic Way — 2,500 km of coastal route from Donegal to Cork — we move units through the Cliffs of Moher. The Burren limestone karst. Connemara.
Here is how the picture comes together. Killarney National Park, the Ring of Kerry, Skellig Michael, and Slieve League Donegal. In Northern Ireland we work the Antrim Coast (Giant's Causeway UNESCO, Carrick-a-Rede, Bushmills), Belfast's Titanic Quarter and Cave Hill, Derry/Londonderry's Walls and Bogside, and the Mourne Mountains. We bridge bilingual production needs in Gaeltacht regions, handle EUR-GBP rate running across the border. Handle post-Brexit customs under the NI Protocol. Keep 24/7 emergency response with medical, security, and weather-window running calibrated to Ireland's wet Atlantic maritime climate.
