It could happen. Obviously, the Oireachtas can decide to change the law if it sees fit. I do not see a necessity for it. I think that balance was struck when the fund was set up back in 2001. I think the ratio is 80:20 for the engagement we have with HRI compared with Rásaíocht Con Éireann. It is factored into both industries. I do not see a need to adjust that but it would be possible to adjust it if the Oireachtas decided to.
