I welcome our guests from RTE. I apologise for having had to leave the meeting for a time and also if some of my questions have already been answered.

We have heard there was inappropriate audience selection and a series of mistakes. We are not playing a blame game here. When Deputy Moynihan asked a question about the weather I was glad to be reassured that the roof was not leaking, or anything like that. The staff of RTE have always been courteous to me and given me cups of tea and a friendly welcome. I thank them for that.
