Could Ms Geraghty talk to me about the regional uplift that was introduced last year in the legislation? Does she believe it is working? Maybe some of the witnesses can talk about its importance or effectiveness for that sector. The provision is tapered and I would like the witnesses' views about that. Going back to my earlier point about support for the industry and trying to nourish it, we are very proud when we see the achievements, the talent and the productions on-screen. Ms Geraghty has come here arguing the case for section 481 which is in place for the next number of years. What else could be done for the industry? It need not be a tax measure. Are there any opportunities in the context of all that is happening that Ireland needs to grab with both hands, to attract more investment and support the talent that we have here by additional productions and so on?
