My first question was whether the witnesses have had any feedback from US companies. It was said that there is a relationship with US streaming companies in particular. Deputy Brennan was correct that quite a number of programmes are being produced here in Ireland for US audiences. Have they expressed a view on the streaming levy in Ireland? There is a streaming levy in other countries. Would the levy affect the streaming companies' decisions to produce in Ireland?
