I welcome Ms Doherty and Ms Forbes and thank them both for their service on behalf of RTE. It is very much valued.

Given that Deputy Griffin was calling for "The Den" to be brought back, I call on Ms Forbes to ensure "Radharc" would be brought back. A good friend of mine, Fr. Bob McCabe from Navan - mass is often broadcast from Navan and we provide a service at 10.30 a.m. on RTÉ News Now - told me many elderly people would love to see old episodes of "Radharc", a much loved programme, re-broadcast on RTE News Now in the afternoon. Ms Forbes might take that on board.

Ms Forbes mentioned GAAGO and my ears pricked up when she spoke about the fees charged for the external purchase of such games. It is great for the diaspora to be able to avail of that. Ms Forbes is looking at her financial models in the context of The Future of Media Commission report. I agree with Senator Malcolm Byrne that it is regrettable it is still not published. It has been on the Minister's desk since 16 October. It is a disgrace we have not yet got that report. It has been leaked to be damned in any event. RTÉ is competing with Sky Sports in the context of the GAA. Does Ms Forbes ever envisage pay per view events would be considered by RTÉ in its financial funding models given it is competing against Sky Sports now for those games?
