I support section 481. I think there are significant opportunities in the film industry and would like to see more activity in it, especially in the regions. Concerns have been discussed here which I have also raised relating to quality of employment and so on. Can we drill into some of that? Ms Geraghty mentioned that there were 85 certified projects in 2017 which availed of section 481 tax relief. Of those, how many, for that year, equated to the figures that we are talking about relating to employment of 7,070 full-time equivalents?
