Mr. O'Brien-Collins mentioned "Pilgrim Hill" and one of the things that stood out for me was the ability to bring that level of realism to screen on such a small budget. The budget for that movie, while I cannot remember the precise figure, was tiny in the overall scheme of things and to end up with that production was incredible. It just goes to show what can be done with a relatively small investment.

The great thing about the Kerry College course is that it proves that we can run a course of national and international standard anywhere in the country and that is quite groundbreaking. It is more than symbolic and is something that should be seen in the industry as a leader.

I will be more regional than parochial now and ask about Troy Studios. I will eventually get as far as Dublin, but I am working my way up to Limerick now. What is the current level of activity there at the moment? There was a lot of excitement a number of years ago about Troy Studios, its development and its opening. What is currently happening and what are the immediate plans?
