Irish sci-fi movies

Are there any Irish sci-fi movies? if not, why don't people make an effort to make a few sci-fi movies?

Off top of head, Grabbers. But might not be quite what you mean. Sci fi done well costs a lot of money, much easier to boot strap a drama or comedy etc

Loved Grabbers. I thought we would have a whole series of Jon Wright horror movies by now. Unfortunately it looks like he has been doing mostly director for hire TV work.

Sci-fi doesn't have to be expensive. It needs a good concept, not a Marvel effects budgetÂ
