Ms Karan O'Loughlin:

The survey was conducted by Irish Equity, which predominately represents performers. That was the general catchment group. As it turned out, it was not all performers who responded. We left it open to people to say what is their profession. As a consequence of the results of that survey and the conservation that has been very public in the past number of weeks, we are preparing to release a second survey that is more detailed. It will address, in particular, the areas of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour and try separate theatre and audio-visual sectors. This is not just a theatre problem, it is more pervasive at work in general and in society in general. We want to test the waters regarding the audio-visual sector as well. We did not specifically ask a question in the survey about sexual harassment. We had a piece where most of the people who said they had experienced a form of bullying and harassments were female. However, one could not presume anything from that. We must ask more specific questions.
