Ms Ní Chaoindealbháin is happy enough with it.
I have some questions now for Screen Producers Ireland. I understand from the opening statements that the organisation welcomes the provisions for independent commissioning and hopes the figure increases beyond 25%. I have some specific questions on that. First, in an ideal world, what proportion of that funding would go to independent commissioning? Second, what balance should be struck between in-house production in the State broadcasters versus independent commissioning?
