I propose to take Questions Nos. 80, 86, 94 and 99 together.

Officials from my Department have engaged with the other Departments that have responsibility for various aspects of the Report of the Committee on Budgetary Oversight including the matter of a stakeholder forum as part of wider discussions in respect of the Section 481 Film Tax Credit. Consideration is being given to Recommendation 14 as part of overall considerations of the Committee’s Report.
