Mr. Bill O'Herlihy:

That is a very interesting concept. I have not met the board as such yet, but I know some of the members individually. My intention is that the board, as a group, would define our objectives for the coming year and be measured against those objectives.

I think the Deputy's suggestion of bringing the Irish Film Board to the country is a terrific idea but it might not necessarily be practical from the point of view of the board, but certainly not from the point of view of the executive. One must bear in mind there is a major workload involved for a small number of people on the executive. Even in my marginal involvement so far, it is very obvious to me that they have a huge workload and the international and national travel is significant. The executive is imaginative and I will discuss this suggestion with the chief executive and if it is practical, I am sure it will be done.
