I get that we cannot make a determination, but we can probably take a guess about an awful lot of the issues that are dealt with here. Workers would have also talked about it being all well and good to use the protective employment legislation and the framework and the WRC to bring things to a conclusion, but that is not always necessarily very simple.

In fairness, one of the major findings was the fact that it was the producer who was the employer and not the designated activity company, DAC. We probably have to do a piece of work with regard to all of this. We have these recommendations - that is one thing - but we are going to have a stakeholder forum? On some level, we need to have some sort of actions from that and then we need it to be timelined. The whole idea is that on the basis of what has been said previously and the WRC, there do seem to be a number of issues that need to be addressed. In addressing those we will also benefit the film industry by the fact that we can have something that is sustainable and that protects the employees and all those other stakeholders involved. We all want more Cillian Murphys and more films to be produced here that hit the high notes, for want of a better term, but we also need to make sure that we look after everybody and that we can keep turning that over.

I assume I am not going to get that detail, but when is it likely? I imagine the Committee on Budgetary Oversight may have some sort of role. Would it be possible that it would be informed about the timeline and what is being proposed? At the minute, all Ms Nash is saying is that the forum is going to meet and that somebody is going to look at this and it may be built into their work plan. We probably need a greater level of detail than that.
