Maybe Mr. O'Regan could talk us through that process. We are used to other jurisdictions, which were mentioned yesterday - the UK in particular - where newspapers are associated with particular political entities. In the United States it is even more unbraked, for want of a better term. That is not really something that has historically been seen in the Irish context. How does one arrive at a political position that this is what the editorial position of a newspaper is going to bevis-à-visa certain political party?
