The Creative Economy: Discussion
1:35 pm
Mr. Pól Ó Gallchóir:
Our operation has four main elements, namely, our funding, the production sector, good programmes and the viewers. If we had more money, we could invest in the independent production sector to produce more programmes. We would then have more original Irish language content for viewers who would be entertained and educated. I hope it would also increase our viewership. It is, in a sense, a revolving door, whereby we need to grow funding and then the sector in every part of Ireland, to have more and better quality programmes and increase our viewership.
