Pretty much on the money kae :)

Essentially - TnaG used have an "irish only" rule for ads - but they
couldn't sell the advertising space they had - and couldn't cover costs.

The web-video thing is probably a "computers == mac or windows" thing,
and the crossover of skillsets from Linux users to TV editors etc is
probably quite a small and specialised set - add Irish to the mix and
well, if you have all three - there's probably a job in it for you !
