I have brought up the issue of the recommendations of the Committee on Budgetary Oversight before, and Deputy Boyd Barrett might also have mentioned it once or twice. In fairness, the Taoiseach has been supportive of those recommendations and a stakeholders' forum. Follow-up will need to happen with the Minister and this is vital. There is much talk of the possibility of cross-Border solutions with film studios and such, and that is all welcome, but we need to get those pieces and issues like the possibility of blackballing dealt with.

My question is on the tax credit in computer gaming. Nexus, Ireland's first gaming conference, is happening today. The idea of this tax credit was that there was not a sufficient computer gaming industry in this State. How have things progressed and what are the predictions for the future? It is a huge industry and a considerable amount of people take great enjoyment out of it.
