The change was made only last year. I am on the record calling for a review of many of the tax reliefs on an annual basis, although some of them do not seem to get the same attention. There is a 40% increase in the eligible limit for production companies, from €50 million to €70 million. The Minister mentioned that the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht was looking for a larger increase and that there is a sense out there that it is too low. Has there been any particular request or lobby from the industry or individual production companies in this regard? Where is this coming from?
