-----owns one third of Ardmore Studios and is also one of the owners of Troy Studios. There is something of a conflict of interest there. Certainly, fears have been expressed to me that Ardmore is being run down in favour of Troy. I want to see all of these studios flourish, but I put it to the witnesses that there is a problem if the same person has the biggest stake in Troy and something of a stake in Ardmore when there are fears about the future of the latter.
