We will keep the discussion concise. Given that a statute of limitations does not apply to an investigation by that Department, I find it hard to understand that RTÉ's financial section at this stage would not be doing some calculations as to the possible implications of that. We are talking about a substantial sum of money. In the context of a decline in income and the organisation running a deficit in five of the past six years, I ask the witnesses to indicate whether RTÉ is doing any financial calculation on that at this point? While I understand it would not have a definite figure, surely the financial controllers in RTÉ are doing some kind of assessment of that at the moment?
