My next question is for Mr. Ó Coigligh. Bodies such as the Arts Council and the Irish Film Board provide necessary finance for artists. These bodies cannot perform to full capacity unless the Government gives serious consideration to them. Does the Department or Government have any timeline on achieving the doubling of funding, which is the Taoiseach's strategy?
