Last summer, I was in Carlingford for a few days and I went up to Belfast to the W5 centre in the Odyssey Arena with my three young kids. The kids could make a small news film and they could do an animation. It was hands-on and available for kids to do. They could create their own one-minute animated video, and edit and produce their own news programme. There was a news studio set there for the kids to do directing, filming, camera and the whole lot. Is there anything like that here? There is not, to my knowledge, anything down here that gives kids the opportunity to have a go.
