Ms Libbie McQuillan:

The AVMSD, which is a broader European legislative text, allows for the potential of financial obligations.

Also, more broadly, it encourages the prominence of European work and quotas for it, European work being film, television and animation. The levy is one potential mechanism within that. A high number of productions operate on a European basis. The levy mechanism is subject to review going forward. In the legislation, there was a ring fence for Irish language and independent work and, in due course, it will be reviewed.
