Ms Maggie Breathnach:

Coming from An Rinn and being a small company that scales-up according to projects, and scales down, I guess it is important. We are in the south east - an hour from Cork, an hour from Kilkenny and a good bit away from Galway, but we love Galway.

We have a course in Nemeton, run by Nemeton, taking in graduates. I am there. We produce, in Waterford, the largest number of hours of television, outside of Galway or Ireland, in the country. We are an automatic cluster, if there was long-term investment and goals so that we could work with our colleagues in Galway or wherever, provided that we can take those students.

I take some of Irial Mac Murchú's students every year from Nemeton to work with me where I can. I go in and give talks, because it is all about the long tail. There is no point in teaching kids or telling them they will have a job today and not tomorrow. It is about harnessing that talent, keeping them and showing that if you dream, it can happen in our small areas.

If there are clusters of that and long-term investment, it does not have to be huge investment to start with but just that you know it. A young person growing up will know that they can either come home or start a company in their own area and that there is a job there, and that they can rear their family where they grew up and look outwards. That is incredible. If I was told 25 years ago when I left home to study in the Dún Laoghaire College of Art and Design that I would be running my own company in An Rinn and looking to Sky Arts for investment, I would have said that there is not a hope in hell. Dare to dream and it can happen, but if we do not have long-term investment, goals and clusters, I cannot do it on my own. I need a little bit of back-up and a bit of support and communication and then we can all move forward together.
