I have a supplementary question on TG4. I agree with the Minister's comments. GAA Beo and some of the sporting programmes, in particular, have broadened TG4's audience. I am not sure if it is in the budget or technically possible but an option to switch on and off the use of Irish language subtitles would also be a further aid. People tune in but may struggle with the dialects and the cainteanna can vary. This is something the team could perhaps take away to talk about. I think it would aid education on and the take-up of the language.
