I have very limited time. That answers where RTÉ is with the process at the moment. Eversheds went back two years. Is it not self-evident that there is a degree of retrospection when there was a look-back? That is an observation. In the UK, they are referred to as counterparts because it is not entirely set up on the same basis. The BBC ran into some significant high-profile difficulties with the same type of scenario some years back and the UK HM Revenue and Customs was brought in front of the Committee of Public Accounts of the House of Commons on foot of that. Was a Revenue audit ever carried out? Was this issue ever picked up in the past ten years? Did the auditors of RTÉ pick this up as an issue? I know it was raised continuously by some of the unions representing the staff.
