He mentioned "Future Shock" and "Boom". Having read the complaints to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, which can be checked on its website, both of those programmes claimed from the outset to be portraying a hypothetical situation, rather than issuing a warning.

I have just read on the RTE website the description of the "Boom" programme for 1 June 2006. If Mr. Mulligan is going to draw from the past that these were big warning signs, I am merely asking him to tell me about all the other programmes that RTE was showing at the time, the frequency with which they were on, which were promoting house purchase versus the three individual occasions in the relevant period. That is all I am saying. I think we get the picture and I want to move on.
