No, I do not really. As I have said, these difficulties were anticipated a year ago. RTE has put more investment into it than it can afford in the present climate. The view was taken that if this is to be done, it should be done well because everyone is entitled to a service and some people cannot be left behind. As a result, the investment has been very significant. Where issues regarding certain areas have been raised, steps have been taken above and beyond the call of duty. I particularly remember the issues in County Cork that were highlighted when these issues were raised in the audiovisual presentation some months ago. If our colleagues from south Kerry want to give us details of areas of particular concern, we will seek to address them.
