Engagement with Screen Ireland

I would like to follow up because I was very conscious that Ms Bergin said in her opening statement that one of her key aims was to capture the share of inward international production but in response to my question her focus was on supporting the development of a creative indigenous sector. I am not saying that the two concepts are mutually exclusive but having a focus on attracting international investment is different to supporting the development of an indigenous sector. If Screen Ireland's focus is going to be on the indigenous sector, who is going to be responsible for attracting the international production?
To come back to my other questions, are there specific aspects of Government policy that need to be addressed in order to achieve the objectives we are talking about?
