Ms Dee Forbes:
That is correct. Obviously, our content does help Facebook. As we expand and appeal to the users of Facebook and Twitter, it is important that the demographic is also getting access to public service content, because as the Deputy knows, many of the younger generation are accessing TV content through their devices, which is their chosen mode. It does help us in terms of awareness building, but we do not benefit from any cash coming the other way. It benefits their awareness and it is helping the younger generation see news, current affairs or discussions that we are having, in particular on a national level.
