Mr. John Arkins:

On the Chairman's question on whether the mechanism of the WRC operates for this industry, during the past two years since the Irish Film Workers Association was formed as a registered trade union, we have taken cases to the WRC on a number of issues. We represented trainees who were denied natural justice. We got them compensation and an option that they could return to work. We believe the mechanism can work, and we will be back to the court this month again dealing with a case involving a beneficiary of section 481 funding who has said he is not the employer. There is an issue if one does not know who one is bringing to court and people are not willing to acknowledge they are in receipt of this money and that they are the employers. It is not that hard for us to identify the employers. If the Chairman's reads our submission, he will note that the beneficiaries of all the section 418 funding is set out in the category on the left-hand side of Appendix 5. Every single one of them gets section 481 money and every one of them gets that money to create quality employment, to provide training and to invest in the infrastructure of facilities. We all want to have these goods and services within the State.
