I am delighted. Tá mé thar a bheith buíoch nár tharla sé ach bhí sé ar intinn ag na finnéithe é a dhéanamh. That was proposed and I am using it as an example. In the context of RTÉ's understanding of its obligations under the 2009 Act, it is worrying that that was the first thing that it was proposed should go when RTÉ was in trouble . The proposal to record the "Nuacht" rather than broadcast it live was seriously considered because the news in English was more important and deserved better scope was the first item to be considered when RTÉ was being restructured. The witnesses may correct me if I am wrong
