I thank the witnesses for attending. I apologise for the delay that occurred. I will direct most of my questions to the witnesses from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland. The authority has an important role in the promotion of Irish culture through film, radio and so on and it would consider itself an enabler in that regard. In the sense in which it is that, does it simply respond to requests for funding or is there an element of actively trying to promote different areas of Irish culture?
