As I have mentioned in this House previously, I am finalizing a five-year strategy for the audiovisual sector that, among other matters, will address issues regarding talent development, convergence, sectoral growth, education and the digital opportunities for Ireland, as well as reporting on industry leadership, State agency roles and innovation. It will seek to provide a road map for the next few years and assist in enabling the domestic audiovisual content production sector to develop into an internationally traded sector for product and services over the period to 2015.

I hope to bring this strategy to Government for consideration in the coming weeks and, following that, a decision will be made regarding its publication.
