My apologies if I ask questions that have been previously asked. My first question is for TG4. Head 77 of the Bill references a 25% spend on Irish language programming, as is currently the case under the BAI. We need to ensure that is retained in the new Bill. Are there any specific measures the witness thinks would help promote Irish language media that are not currently provided for in the Bill? For example, should there be a section or a commissioner dedicated to Irish language media?
