Ms Barbara Galavan:

The Irish Film Board and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland have come together to form a training strategy, which we understand will be published soon. We call for one cohesive vision for the audio-visual sector and believe that, while this initiative is very good, it puts the cart before the horse a little bit. What are we creating a training strategy for if we have not identified exactly what the core vision of the sector is? We would like to see stakeholders coming together to agree the vision and everything else can then feed into it. A lot of problems will be solved by agreeing an overarching vision for the audio-visual sector.
