Ms Lisa N? Choisdealbha:

I will add two things. First, there is going to be some kind of content fund, whether that is a rejigged sound and vision scheme or another scheme, when the media commission comes in. The media commission needs to learn from the sound and vision fund that it already has in place. Many of the people applying for these funds are from small organisations. They are creative people who do not want to be spending week after week on administration. It is important that any fund is workable and accessible.

My second point is that with these kinds of funds, a rising tide will lift all boats. We need to be sure that the entire cultural landscape of the country is included. We must include as many of our indigenous workers as possible under the criteria set out for these funds.
