Mr. Pól Ó Gallchóir:

Mar a dúirt mé, tá an earnáil neamhspleách an-tábhachtach ar fad agus tá gach iarracht á dhéanamh againn go mbeadh comhlachtaí agus daoine fostaithe againn ar fud na tíre. Creidim an príomhrud ná go bhfuil gá go bhfuil rialtacht ann. Bíonn daoine ag súil le hobair leanúnach. Caithfimid déanamh comhoibriú leis an earnáil lena chinntiú go bhfuil obair leanúnach ann do chomhlachtaí. Cé comhlachtaí an-bheag nó níos mó atá i gceist, caithfimid cinntiú go bhfuil obair léanúnach acu ó chinn cinn na bliana. Oibrímid go maith leis na gcomhlachtaí i ngach áit ar fud na tíre, ach tá an Ghaeltacht an-tábhachtach dúinn, ceantar Chonamara ina measc, agus tá comhlachtaí agus tionscail an-mhaith againn.

On the archiving scheme, we are in collaboration with the National University of Ireland Galway, NUIG, especially its centre in Carna, the representatives of which serve on our steering committee and advise us on our application, as well as the archiving scheme that started five or six weeks ago.

On the UNESCO city of film status and the Galway capital of culture initiative, we were involved in the effort to make Galway the capital of film last year and serve on the steering committee for the initiative Galway capital of culture. The greater the number of people involved in the arts, film, drama, acting, writing, camera work and so forth the stronger the sector will be and this will benefit TG4.

On the location of a new studio in Galway city, the more studio locations we have the better it will be for TG4, County Galway and the city in general. We have Studio Telegael in Baile na hAbhann. A new location in Carnmore would help to attract investment and production to the west and Galway in general.
