I would be happy to arrange to give the Deputy a briefing on what has happened. I genuinely believe this is a good news story for Ardmore. The initiative is allowing it to expand to its potential. There is considerable potential in that space in Wicklow, where there are two studios very close to each other. What I have been talking about all the time here is clustering and a talent pool. It is very fortunate that the two studios are so close. There is now a connection with Limerick. All in all, it augurs well for the film industry in this country. We will be happy to give the Deputy a briefing on this. I do not believe meeting the staff would serve any purpose. It is an Enterprise Ireland decision, ultimately. I am happy, however, to provide the Deputy and the committee members with a full briefing on the matter.
