That is why I asked Mr. Flood to engage in broad discussion with all those with an interest in the film industry. He is recognised as a very good mediator and negotiator, and he is continuing with that process. The current feedback from the industry is that the labour relations position is good. I am quite positive but whether the position remains as it is comprises another issue. People in the industry are very occupied at the moment. There is a lot of work in the film industry and there are some exciting developments throughout the island. "Dracula Untold" helped and provided opportunities for many people from Dublin and elsewhere in the Republic. Whatever happens on the island of Ireland helps the whole film industry. I will be having another meeting with Mr. Flood shortly and I will bring to his attention the points raised by Deputy McLellan this morning. If there is a need for what she is suggesting, I will certainly consider it. I will consult Mr. Flood first.
