They will join other contributors to the Irish film industry at the St Patrick's Day reception at the president's residence in Dublin.

The Dublin events come after President Higgins earlier this week hailed Ireland’s success at the Oscars and said it had been a "remarkable" year for the Irish film industry.
He congratulated those behind An Irish Goodbye which took the award for best short film, as well as Dublin's Richard Baneham who was among those who won the Oscar for visual effects for Avatar: The Way Of Water.
President Higgins said: "The success which we are seeing is built on the acquisition of skills and pursuit of excellence by all in the Irish film community.
"As a gesture to all that has been achieved, and the important contribution of the film and related industries to Irish life, Sabina and myself look forward to hosting a St Patrick’s Day reception celebrating the Irish Film, Audio-Visual and Performing Arts Communities at Aras an Uachtarain this Friday."
