Please. That would be great because they are just slightly different in that they have that different objective of Irish-language support, so it would be helpful to see Irish-language broadcasting not just in one bucket but rather through the different channels providing it.

On arts and culture and the basic income for the arts scheme, this is just a small thing, but the output targets for 2023 and 2024 were 2,000 and then the figure dropped in 2025 to just 1,973. It is only a small number of 27 artists, but does the Minister have a reason why they are no longer on the books? Was it just fall-off from the scheme?
