The second issue relates to forwarding to RTÉ the letter from Revenue. The proposal is that we ask the broadcaster to disclose voluntarily the nature and amount of the settlement with Revenue regarding workers being wrongly classified as self-employed.

Finally, the third proposal is that we ask RTÉ that when it has concluded its process regarding retrospective liabilities in regard to PRSI payments to workers, it inform the committee of the sum and the number of workers those payments went to. Are the proposals agreed? Agreed.

Next is No. 679B, from Ms Katherine Licken, Secretary General of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and the Media, dated 24 June 2021, providing information requested by the committee in respect of the funding of Galway 2020, European Capital of Culture. Members will recall that at our meeting of 29 June, we agreed to note and publish this item and to hold it over for consideration at today's meeting. Following receipt of correspondence raising concerns about Galway 2020, we wrote to the Department and Galway city and county councils to request information on the governance arrangements of Galway 2020 and to ask whether the Department and the councils were satisfied with the use of funding provided for the projects. Deputy Munster has flagged the item for discussion. The next two items are responses on the matter from Galway city and county councils. No. 686 is Mr. Jim Cullen, chief executive of Galway County Council, dated 23 June, while there is correspondence also from Mr. Brendan McGrath, chief executive of Galway City Council, dated 25 June. We propose that we note and publish those items too.
