I formally second and agree with Deputy Griffin. It is great to see an entire industry in favour of bringing it out and down the country and giving us all that opportunity. It is a big country. We have a lot of beautiful places around the country. I am biased, as I am from the midlands. I want to make sure everyone sees what we have to offer. We have good people in industries and the witnesses have highlighted that. As it happens, I know the two lads personally and I wish them well. The national enterprise awards are on in the Mansion House tomorrow night and they are representing County Longford there. I hope they are successful. They are successful by getting there and I hope they are successful on the night. I know there is a bright future ahead for them. I would love to see that they would be able to stay based in the midlands and produce quality productions, as they have been doing from their home base.
