I would like to thank everyone. I have often made the case in this committee that we have not had a good Irish political drama since "Charlie". I know there have been some dramas of this nature on TG4. I suggest that political drama goes on elsewhere and that facts can often be stranger than fiction. It would be particularly important, in the context of recommendations going forward, that the Department would keep the committee informed in terms of the outcomes with regard to the increase in the cap, the work being done on the unscripted sector and Ireland's competitive position especially with regard to the UK and other jurisdictions. This will also be important for Mr. Ó Domhnaill in terms of the outcome of the introduction of the levy, which is something this committee is considering in quite a bit of detail. The committee hopes to influence the policy but the key from the discussions today is that there are an awful lot of good things being done in the sector. We want the sector to continue to grow. Collectively as a committee, we have shown there is a willingness to support all of that.

I ask Ms Crowley to have a last word. She is a poacher turned gamekeeper. I appreciate that given her position, there is a limit on what she can say. She has seen the other side from her role within RTÉ and is aware of all of the really positive things that have gone on in the sector. From her perspective now, where does she see the sector?
