Yesterday we heard evidence from Harry Browne, who listed five or six programmes that RTE had on the air in the period we are talking about. Some were about overseas properties and some were about domestic properties. Advertising was sold during those programmes - often not directly related to property itself - but property and construction was a part of the programming make-up in RTE at the time. Surely this did have an impact that was greater than 1% on the revenues of RTE.
