Furthermore, I understand that a draft report has already been completed by RTÉ management in respect of this matter and that it is to be considered by the board, possibly at a meeting tomorrow. This is about the lives of real people, namely, staff who are living in Limerick and rearing families there. They have bills to pay. That is apart from the fact that Lyric FM provides a quality product. It is based on Cornmarket Street in the heart of Limerick city. A significant investment was put into the station. The RTÉ regional studios are based in the same building. It is critical that the matter would be put to bed and that RTÉ make a statement to the effect that Lyric FM will continue to provide the quality product it has been providing in the heart of Limerick city, particularly as the station was pioneered by RTÉ and, in particular, the President, Michael D. Higgins.
