That is fair enough. I am unsatisfied with the responses made by RTÉ and we will go back to it again. RTÉ was to meet all of the workers affected by this matter. Some of the workers have contacted me, and perhaps they have contacted other members of the committee. If bogus self-employment is an illegal practice then it is illegal. As to the question of whether that has been established or not, we cannot simply say that it is for RTÉ to decide when RTÉ has received a substantial amount of taxpayers' money. If the Secretary General writes the cheque that gives a substantial amount of funding to RTÉ and oversight agreements are in place, then what do the oversight agreements cover? Do they exclude practices by human relations or HR?
