Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

There is fantastic potential in this area. I have no problem agreeing with the Deputy if she is saying we are only scratching the surface, as we can do much more. It is very large and competitive business. Section 481 is one aspect of our attractive features and there are issues to tackle with regard to Ardmore studios. Some of the matters of a technical nature raised by the Deputy must also be dealt with.

If the Deputy's message is that there is an enormous amount that we can do, I would agree. I am reviewing this area fairly urgently to see if we can ramp up efforts substantially. There is fantastic scope here.
