That is why I have asked that question. The Future of Media Commission report is likely to kick that back to Ms Forbes in terms of finding those gaps in funding, notwithstanding the €65 million. Is that something that has been countenanced by RTÉ's financial controller on the basis that these events cost an awful lot of money and we are competing against pay per view platforms? A television licence fee costs €160. My Sky basic package subscription costs me more over €1,000 per year. If I want to watch a big sports event on Sky, I will pay €29.95 to view it on top of my subscription. Has consideration of having a pay per view model for sports events domestically in Ireland ever been on RTÉ's financial controller's desk?
