I have a feeling that people within an organisation should make necessary cuts and arrangements to be more profitable and workmanlike. A local radio station could have a person presenting at one stage and five minutes later that person could be sweeping up around the hall. They survive because they are workmanlike in what they do. If there is waste, it should be cut. The right answer is not what the witnesses have argued. They may not think RTE should get more money but they seem to think that if it is to provide a proper service as a national broadcaster over the next five years, they should recommend throwing more money at the organisation. Would they not recommend tightening up, as everybody else in the country is doing?
