Would RTÉ like to give some help to people who have been broadcasting for so long and have such loyalty to RTÉ? I understand they have been informed their contracts will be terminated quickly. Will any of the €10 million announced today that will be invested by the Government go towards freelancers? Will it be absorbed in the overall situation?
