Deputy Stanley asked Mr. Pitt and Mr. Lennon how they would protect editorial independence and maintain plurality. Senator Lombard sought reassurance that jobs will be supported. Deputy Lowry asked about the state of finances of Celtic Media, what financial options are available and whether the NUJ consulted its membership in local titles. I call Mr. Mulrennan or Mr. Carey to commence.
