Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail)

I am not suggesting for a moment that we create another agency. We want to see fewer agencies and not more of them. Is the Minister aware of the recommendations for the sector in the Forfás report about making it happen? I refer specifically to the proposal that the Government should facilitate networking and collaboration across sub-sectors of the creative industries, such as digital media and design, and particularly in MNCs, SMEs, sole traders and academia. Another proposal is to develop and promote education and training initiatives to increase capacity and skills in the area of design and innovation. Will the Government accept those proposals and act on them?
