Okay, I am happy that the witness has answered that.

The witness was asked about in-house legals. In terms of the influence of the legals in regard to programmes broadcast, obviously legal people are very cautious. Judgment calls have to be made all the time. How are the conflicts resolved when they come up because it may well be that RTÉ may be broadcasting something more hard-hitting that people might be happy to engage with in terms of programming? Does that inhibit such programming? Are the defamation laws something that the organisation would be concerned about in regard to the risks that the witness talked about in current affairs broadcasting?
