Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I wish to make a brief comment. I am not seeking the Minister to establish an Irish version of Sky Movies. I propose that we have a film channel which is a shop window for the talent we have in Ireland for movie making and all of the other broadcasting talent we have here but which would, where possible, be able to pay for itself. It should try to attract new audiences all the time by playing popular films as well as niche films. We are getting there and I look forward to seeing how it develops.
