The workshops have been completed. We have gone to every local authority and worked with them. We will help them develop their Creative Ireland plans for every county. That is broadly it. Obviously, there are administrative costs and we want to have a Creative Ireland forum towards the end of the year, where we will bring all of the stakeholders together.

In terms of being a centre of excellence in media production and unifying our global reputation, we want to develop our digital presence and showcase what we do to the world. We need to invest in our web design and, as I said, our digital presence. This is about unifying our global reputation. There are also other events. We launched the Creative Ireland plan internationally in New York where it was very well received.
