Ms Dee Forbes:

Yes. We are very grateful for the additional funds. It is important first to consider that the organisation has been and is in an environment of deficits. What we are doing above everything else in the organisation is trying to protect content because that is what our audience wants and what we are there to deliver. We are doing everything we can to protect spending on content and, in turn, ensure we have the best programmes for the audience. There are two core areas on which we really want to focus in the coming years with the Irish production sector, namely, drama and children's programming. We have already begun that work. We have gone from having very little Irish drama content to really increasing our investment in it. This autumn will see a strong drama on RTÉ called "Taken Down", on which we are working with the sector. As I mentioned to Deputy Eamon Ryan, the second area where we really want to do more is children's programming. We have an obligation to ensure kids get the best content. They are areas on which we really want to focus. The big question is whether we can get there because, as I said, the money must be considered in working against a backdrop of deficits.
