I do not accept what Mr. Bakhurst said about presenters' salaries. I never did accept this business that one has to wait two years for fear they are going to be taken away. If people are going to be taken away at this stage, then good luck to them. One would not run any other semi-State company with that lack of accountability and transparency. Given that RTE is getting €134 million from the taxpayer, I believe it has an obligation to tell people what it is paying.
