This is my last question. Obviously, the issue of the law applying to the witnesses is a no-brainer. Our responsibility is to make sure that happens, and any money that comes from the State should be conditional, at a minimum, on the application of the law where workers' entitlements are concerned. That is critical. At the level of oversight of the industry, and worker participation in it, what would the witnesses recommend? Would they propose representation of the workers and of the different grades on the Irish Film Board? How many representatives would be appropriate? How would the witnesses envisage the industry being properly monitored, and genuine diversity of the different stakeholders being represented?

How would the witnesses see the industry being properly monitored and the genuine diversity of the different stakeholders being represented in the industry?
