Ms Aideen Howard:

As I understand it, Screen Producers Ireland very much welcomed the publication of this new direction proposal in the autumn of last year. As the Chairman has said, the new strategy will set out in much more detail what that will actually look like. One of the key alignments, as I see it, is in that increase in RTÉ's investment in the sector which is important for the actual production and delivery of the work but also for the larger scale result, which will be the growth and development of the sector. As I understand it, Screen Producers Ireland is very much in favour of that approach. I understand that one of the key conclusions of the report is that Screen Producers Ireland would like to see that figure increased even more. It remains to be seen how much a reduction in in-house production of certain work correlates with an increase in external work over the next five years. The detail of that has yet to be seen.
