I will start with a question of my own, followed by one each from Deputy Dooley and one further member. I will take these three questions in a row. If Mr. Kiely could bank these I will come back to him to answer them. With regard to the must-carry, must-offer obligations, does Mr. Kiely feel that the current arrangement is more beneficial to RTE than to other broadcasters and providers? Does he believe that TV3's partnership with Virgin Media has allowed the station to provide greater content for the public, thus enabling it to compete on a level playing field with the other providers? I will now bring in Deputy Dooley, followed by Deputy Stanley.
