Yes. It is welcome that there is a process in place to meet staff members on individual contracts. There seems to be some movement in that regard. I have spoken to some staff members who may have their contracts reviewed and be put on normal contracts. That shows that there was a problem. Even the response from Ms Forbes in which she states it is a complex matter is a massive step forward from where we were when it was said there was no issue. There is an issue and I understand it is complex to deal with it. Ms Forbes is right that everybody's circumstances are different. She states the process of discussing individual contracts will continue into the second half of the year. Can we note the correspondence to which we might come back after the summer recess? Having regard to a number of other issues, including a couple of unintended programmes or coverage of events that led to greater losses for RTÉ, we should keep an eye on the matter. We could consider inviting RTÉ representatives to come back before the committee at the latter end of the year. I ask that we include it in our work programme for discussion. I know that they do not have to come before us, but they could do so voluntarily. On the issue of individual contracts, we need to keep an eye on the matter. Given that RTÉ has stated it will continue the review over the summer months, we might write to it when we come back after the summer recess.
