I have one final question and Mr. Kavanagh might want to take it. When the 5% regional uplift was introduced, and this is where I was asking the question, the figure of 5% was set because there was an assumption that filming outside of Dublin and Wicklow cost at least 5% more. Has the Department carried out any other research as to the impact of the regional uplift we have heard about and whether it involves a cost greater than 5%, or is a separate calculation being carried out by the Department? In light of, as Ms Finnegan mentioned, the changes that are happening with regard to the UK film tax regime, what is the Department's perspective on that?
