Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Adrian Lynch:
I am not that familiar with deals in the film industry. I know, in the main, that most company owners are actually living from hand to mouth. Obviously, the industry has changed significantly. If you look at producers who working for streaming companies, they will only get the contract with them if they have a buyout. It is like a cost-plus model rather than a royalty model. That is what the writers' strike in the United States at the moment is about.
