Mr. Anthony Muldoon:

There are two big pieces on the funding side. One is the creation of a media fund. We want to make sure the Sound and Vision fund, which has operated as an independent fund for 20 years and is now being incorporated into the media fund, does not lose any money. We want to make sure the €15 million that is currently there stays there and does not leak into the local democracy report or any of the new schemes that are being created because it is a really important funding mechanism for the culturally relevant programming which is not easily made commercial that is seen on TG4 and RTÉ.

The second piece is on the content levy. Ms Kirby mentioned this levy in her opening statement. We have been advocating for this since 2017 as an organisation and since 2020 as an industry.
