I welcome Ms Donovan and Ms Kennedy.

Both dealt with the separation of editorial policy from commercial considerations in their opening statements. Ms Donovan stated "Editorial policy at The Irish Timesis the responsibility of the board of The Irish Times Limited" while the day-to-day policy is a matter for the editor. Did the board also deal with the commercial performance of the company?
