I wish to intervene for a moment. Bear in mind that when we first raised this issue with RTÉ when its representatives were before the committee, they denied any knowledge of it on two occasions before at the third attempt by you, Chairman, they then said that they had made a settlement. On two occasions in the space of half an hour prior to that, they said they were not aware of any bill from the Revenue Commissioners or any settlement with them. Now, we see that they think they can ignore the committee and our requests for information. It is up to us to insist that we get the answers in the interests of transparency. It is not necessarily up to the Revenue Commissioners. It is up to RTÉ to tell us exactly what was paid and if there are any further bills due. Personally, I do not believe it is any harm to flag our frustration with this to the Minister.
