I thank all the witnesses. It has been a very useful session and we have had a very useful dialogue. I particularly thank Mr. Wheeldon for his reply to the points which I raised. That was important. Mr. Hanway mentioned Oireachtas TV, which Virgin Media must take credit for. I commend that. We often get feedback that people watch it at all kinds of different hours of the day, but it is available to them. I am not sure how much money in transmission fees could be gained from it were that to be attempted, if any. Indeed we might have to pay people to watch it.
