I have some questions myself. I will try to allow people in for a second round of just one question each because we are tied for time. Unfortunately, the two hours go too quickly. I thank members for the questions they have asked so far and the witnesses for their replies.

I wish to ask Ms Forbes about the 433 contractors. Some 157 were found to be in the medium to high category of having the attributes of employees. Of those, 81 were offered employment, 78 accepted and three did not. Thankfully, one of the witnesses clarified that those three are no longer with RTÉ. According to the information in the summary of the Eversheds Sutherland report, 106 were assessed as being more like employees. What happened to the 25 and why were they not offered employee status? Will the witnesses please keep the answers brief?
