I am sorry to interrupt Mr. Hickey but I have so little time. Last week, I asked Equity directly if someone does not sign one of these contracts, will they get the job on the film and they said they will not get it. They also said, for example, of the film done by Disney recently in the RDS and various other places such as Wicklow, that people who worked on that here got lesser remuneration, contracts and conditions than they did when they reshot some of those scenes in the UK.
