I look forward to engaging with the witnesses on the future of public service broadcasting, its funding and remit at the meeting on Friday. We met, I think, at the Parnell summer school and I hope we meet them again this year. I look forward to that.

I am interested in Creative Ireland because I am involved in the midsummer arts festival in Naas and a local history festival later in the year. Arts and local history groups were very excited about and interested in the Creative Ireland programme when it was announced earlier in the year, but the detail on how it works and how the applications work was not quite clear.
