I welcome the fact that Ms Forbes is concerned and is looking at this. The perception is that these people are being forced into these contracts. As a consequence of being forced into these contracts, they are essentially being asked - the word "coerced" was used during the programme in question - to surrender rights. If any other organisation were doing this, it would be looked at by "Prime Time" or "RTÉ Investigates" so that such organisations could quite rightly be called out. I think Mr. Boucher-Hayes is quite right to say that RTÉ cannot point the finger-----
