I will give it to Deputy Niall Collins and to Deputy Donnelly. I have met him on two occasions already on the issue of Ardmore Studios. I will send Deputy Niall Collins the information in regard to Troy Studios.

In response to Deputy Boyd Barrett, we have a very viable film industry in Wicklow. For example, Irish films have taken an impressive €145 million at the worldwide box office in 2015 and 2016. Like Deputy Boyd Barrett, I hope some good, reputable film production company buys that site. I am not sure the State would be able to manage film production studios in any way.
