Ms Áine Ní Chaoindealbháin:
From an independent perspective, 22.5% of our Irish content budget goes toward the independent sector. From a Sound and Vision perspective, we have supported the independent sector since 2022 with approximately €4.9 million. Relating to what Ms Kirby was saying, thisy brought in €37 million to the sector through Coimisiún na Meán funding and section 481. It grows the independent sector. We put into it. We do 36.5 hours of live public service content a week. The commissions and acquisitions are additional to that.
