I do not watch as much television as the Cathaoirleach and, therefore, I will have more time to study this documentation and I will read over it.

I have a number of questions regarding the employment issues I raised earlier which I was unable to put at the time. Further questions were raised during Teachta Connolly's slot. I will put these questions to Ms Cusack. RTE has just under 2,000 employees while it uses 500 people who are classified as self-employed or freelance, which is 25% of the overall staffing complement. Teachta Murphy asked about trade union representation. Is it correct that 75% of people employed by RTE enjoy fully collective bargaining and trade union rights while 25% do not?
