Obviously Revenue cannot disclose it but RTÉ can voluntarily disclose it to us and it should do so. I ask for that to be followed up on. I raise with the committee that we questioned the cost of retrospective PRSI payments to employees who were wrongly classified as self-employed. The answer to question 2 in the correspondence dated 18 June says:

The cost of any retrospective PRSI payments that have to be/have been made. As above, given where we are at in terms of the phased process of Eversheds implementation, any arising issues in terms potential retrospection liabilities have yet to be determined. Therefore no retrospective payments have been made, and future liabilities will be determined by the Scope and Revenue audit which is ongoing.

Along with asking RTÉ to disclose the amount of settlement with Revenue, we should also ask that when it has reached the conclusion of that process and settled up matters with employees regarding retrospective PRSI contributions, that is to say, employers contributions that were not paid, we be informed of that figure as well. Is that agreed by the committee?
