Ms Breda O'Keeffe:

All I can speak about, with respect, is what we do. We have a very good mutual relationship with the Department. We share information extensively, particularly on financial matters. As the director general outlined, there are significant financial challenges in RTÉ at present and we meet regularly. We report very extensively on what one might call the service level arrangements, which is our annual statement of performance commitments. We submit that to the BAI and an independent reviewer, appointed by the BAI, comes to RTÉ each year and reviews those obligations and reports on them. In turn, we also report on the outcome of the annual statement of performance commitments in our annual accounts, which is published on our website and extensively across radio and television.
