Professor Frances Ruane:

The signatories have now nominated a contact point. Our first meeting is set up for this Friday.

It will have to be a scoping meeting because the scale of this is very significant and it will become wider as the debate progresses. Deputy Boyd Barrett noted that one of the very positive things here is that it has widened the debate on theatre. It seems to me that we want to scope that together. They have looked for representatives from across the sector so they are not under-representing any group. We want to have this preliminary meeting to see how to take this forward. It is a schedule of meetings to see how we should do those different things. What pieces of information do we need to gather? What do we have already? What do we not have? We will be developing it from that perspective.
