Ms Moe Honan:

I will keep this short. I am staying a bit quiet because others have made many of the points I would wish to make. I do not want to waste time repeating them.

I wish to draw attention to the point about co-production. People have asked about the uncertainty around RTÉ. I am attending markets and trying to bring co-production partnerships together from around Europe and the world. Any certainty I can bring as a producer in the market counts for everything. Any uncertainty around legislation with respect to section 481, any uncertainty around my national broadcasters or any uncertainty around whether we may or may not be able to talk about a regional uplift or what it might look like disincentivises quality partners with whom I have spent years building up and nurturing relationships. I am based in Galway. I co-produce mainly feature films and I have created employment and sustained employment there. I have often mentored and trained people who have remained in the industry and now work in other companies as well. Certainty is the piece we need to think about as well. Enabling us to retain IP when we co-produce, which Mr. Cummins mentioned, means we have more work and that means we can create more jobs and certainty and allow people to stay in their regions.
