Ms Celene Craig:

I am sure my colleagues will want to respond with regard to some of the detail but in terms of local broadcasters and indeed, some of our national broadcasters, the hope is that they will build that expertise as part of their news delivery and current affairs programming teams. It is important that they grow that knowledge. We are endeavouring to ensure that through all of types of activities in which we engage, they are building a level of expertise in some of these areas. Very often they are relying on bringing people with expertise into the studio and that is the reality in terms of the resources that are available to Irish broadcasters. That said, one would hope that our national broadcasters, for example, which have more focused resources, will be able to build up knowledge and expertise.

As I said, through all of our activities, our objective is that broadcasters start to build more knowledge and information in that regard over time. Mr. McLoughlin may wish to add some detail on training.
