Concerns have been raised about an underrepresentation of the black community in the film and television sector in Ireland.

The issue was highlighted at an event in Dublin today, taking place to coincide with Black History Month, which runs until the end of October.

Mamobo Ogoro from Gorm Media said:"What we're doing is we're really highlighting the voices of black stories through film and storytelling. Another of the organisers, Ashley Chadamoyo Makombe from the GALPAL Collective, works in film production. "We can laugh and there's joy and there's humour and there's all of this other stuff that everybody else gets to experience too. So, I think it's important to show us as being multifaceted."

She said"being able to see that on TV and have that representation, I think I'm truly, truly honoured to be part of it.""We're all Irish and Irishness is so different for everyone.
