I am not interested in the overall programme. I am a public representative and I get paid a salary. People know what I get. We know exactly how much is given to each organisation. I only gave the example of RTÉ because we know that €170 million is given to that organisation. We do not have to go into the precise details of how that money is spent, but we at least know the gross figure that is given. Mr. McKeon cannot even give us the gross figure for what is given to an organisation but that is basic accountability. That is the very simplest form of accountability but we are not even in a position to know how much this organisation gets. I want to get advice on that because I do not accept that it would be commercially sensitive.
