Ms Catherine Keane:

We work a lot with the colleges locally in our region and one of our former senior crew has now gone to lecture in Athlone in an animation course. There is a piece of work there around the colleges and reaching out to them to inform them about the skills we need in order that potential crew that are coming into us or interns or trainees are coming into us and learning on the job and getting themselves up to a point where they are employable. We also recruit on a European and a global basis. From an EDI perspective, that is very important and it is definitely in Kilkenny. When you come to Kilkenny, you can feel that. Certainly, it is a vibrant and diverse place to work in Cartoon Saloon but Kilkenny has benefited from that culturally as well. We have crew from all over Europe and they come and they set up their lives and they stay. We need to do more for the talent that is in and coming out of colleges. We have been working with the colleges and we have been bringing in and developing talent and getting them to stay and that is very important.
