In Ms Daly's last comments, she underlined the seriousness of the issue, which is still ongoing. There is a closing of ranks and pushback from the sector when someone is brave enough to report something.

My first question is for ITI and Safe Arts of Ireland. The ITI report was published in October and there has been significant media coverage around it since then. We have an Oireachtas committee session on it and, as I have said, there has been media coverage. Have the people the witnesses' organisations represent seen any improvement with regard to the accessibility of reporting mechanisms and justice? Is it being talked about more within the arts community? Have there been any improvements whatsoever since the ITI report came to light?
