Mr. Rory Coveney:

I will deal with the first questions and Mr. Ó Dubhghaill and Mr. Horsman will deal with the second and third questions. I cannot speak for everyone, but within RTÉ's cohort of musicians and orchestral management it is reasonable to say there are mixed views on what has been proposed. However, there is pretty strong agreement that the status quois untenable. There is a cohort of people who would rather remain in RTÉ and a cohort who cannot wait to get out of it. A majority are optimistic about what is to come, but want to see it done properly. Mr. Horsman has spoken to many stakeholders outside RTÉ to get a sense of their views, but it is reasonable to say there is a mix of opinions. Most people are optimistic, particularly if the plan is delivered as seems to be proposed.
