Mr. Ciarán Kissane:
It was an award winning film. It is a very good example of an Irish story but told in an international context. Equally, "Inis Spraoi", an animated series that will be broadcast on RTÉjr, for which we just signed a contract recently, links Irish themes and Irish stories in a way that has a resonance for children, but also draws on some of those themes. The value of the scheme is the fact that one can draw a great deal of inspiration from many areas and provide some support to get that into production.
