Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail)

I am all for that. We are all for that, and the Government has done a lot in terms of promoting policies in terms of investment in film through our tax incentives and so on. The ISIF invests commercially. It is not equivalent to the Government giving grants or anything like that. It weighs up commercial criteria and decides to invest on the basis of that, and that is a good thing. It has obviously worked with this particular project. I am not familiar with the background reasons as to why the project has not proceeded at this stage or is not proceeding. Perhaps the Deputy might be able to give me some background later on in respect of that.
