Apologies for having to step out briefly. I will return to some issues I did not get a chance to discuss in the earlier round. I welcome the support for Tara Studios in north Wexford. It will be a major addition to the studio landscape if planning is granted. There will be a review of section 481 in the next period. What are the witnesses' recommendations on helping the sector to recover? The regional tax credit is very welcome, the benefits of which we discussed. The Minister has just announced we are ready to proceed with the online safety and media regulation Bill and, if time permits, the witnesses might outline what they would like to see in that, particularly with regard to the detail of the content levy. We did not get a chance to discuss that in the earlier round.
