She added: “We are very lucky to have so many talented people contributing at every level to the Irish film industry at this time. May I congratulate Screen Ireland and all those working in the Irish film and acting communities, and all those supporting them, for their continued success, and for the wonderful pieces of art which they continue to bring to audiences across the world.”
Taoiseach Micheál Martin took to social media to say: “Congratulations Jessie Buckley on your historic Oscar success! A well deserved win too for Richard Baneham on a wonderful night for Irish film and the performing arts.”
