I propose to take Questions Nos. 132 to 134, inclusive, together.
The expenditure review on the Irish Film Board is completed and it is hoped to publish it shortly, at which stage copies of it will be made available in the Oireachtas Library.
Work on the value for money reviews on the Arts and Culture Capital Enhancement Support Scheme (ACCESS) and the Arts Council are underway and, while it is anticipated that draft reports will be available on these before the end of the year, it is unlikely that they will be published until 2009.
