I thank the Senators for their comments and support for TG4, which I also want to give. The archiving amendment is important so it has flexibility and can continue to tell stories of our nation from archive as well as modern material. There are real issues concerning budget difficulties at the current time and we will have to work with TG4 to see how we can continue such funding or what structures we put in place to give it security in very difficult times. It will be a priority for me in my ongoing work with the Department.
