Mr. Ronan McCabe:

It is worth mentioning that Animation Ireland runs the National Talent Academy for animation and would be familiar with all of the courses around the country. We reach out to the individual colleges by having animation fairs. We have held an animation fair in Athlone for a couple of years. We also had one up in Letterkenny. We bring the studios out to the regions as well, to try to give people opportunities. We did a skills gap report a couple of years ago and one of the findings was that people coming out of college were not industry-ready so we devised courses through the National Talent Academy to get people up to speed and make them industry-ready. Animation Dingle takes place in Kerry. It is a big animation event. This weekend Animation Ireland is running a conference in Galway called the Animation Ireland Meitheal. We are bringing international people from all over Europe, the States and the UK to Galway and we have reached out to local people in the area as well. We are trying to do it both ways.
