I did not consider that and I did not have any advice that such would be of benefit. As I say, I am a little tentative about it. A series is generally regarded as a project. There was no request to do what the Deputy mentions. If we brought it down too low, for example, to small films, they would be an administrative burden on Revenue. The policy idea, coming from the Departments of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, is to build up the skills base for a significant film production industry here. Having done that, we might be in a position to attract more.
