I have an observation. Often when these issues come up and we discuss them in here or even within wider society and, as Ms Meaney said, it is not just exclusively in the arts, it is predominantly female voices that we hear. I noticed that all of our witnesses today are female. Sometimes, I have to admit, there is fear often on the part of men about talking about some of these issues. I am glad to hear what she said in terms of some of the training and that men were coming forward within the arts sector. How can the council encourage more men to become allies but also to speak out around these issues?
