Ms Aideen Howard:

In the new direction document last November that ambition to increase outside production and commissioning by 50% was set up. It is a big ambition, and a good deal of the strategic direction will be around driving that change. It should achieve a number of things, including a more vibrant independent sector, but also more diverse output made all across Ireland by lots of different kinds of people. That also speaks to the question asked earlier by the Senator's colleague. That plurality should be evident on our screens, whatever kind of screen you are watching, to go back to Mr. O'Rourke's point. The increase in Irish drama specifically is going to happen more quickly. We have an ambition to increase that to 60 hours per year in 2026. I hope within the five-year period the Senator has asked our chair about that we would have a number of key milestones to hit along the way and that are about the strategic delivery of that increased investment in the independent sector as well as retaining some work in-house.
