I appreciate the centering of the taxpayer's investment in this discussion. It is really worthwhile. I welcome the use of the word "sustainability" because part of the reason we are having these sessions is that we want to see in this country an ecosystem of Irish talent that upholds a self-sustaining industry involving Irish writers, Irish actors and the whole gamut of skills.
It strikes me from the conversation today that it is not just contracts and tax but also work, training and a huge spectrum of stuff included under section 481. We talk a great deal about oversight at this committee. What would Irish Equity identify as the key bodies in industry oversight if checks and balances were to be taken on?
