That Department cannot have a hands-off approach. I do not expect it to micromanage RTÉ but it cannot have a hands-off approach when significant amounts of taxpayers' money are being administrated. I am alerting Mr. Moloney to this. I would appreciate if he came back to us on it and followed up on it.

That concludes our business for today. I thank the witnesses for joining us, the departmental staff for the work they did in preparing for today's meeting, and the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for attending the meeting. Is it agreed that the clerk to the committee will seek follow-up information and carry out agreed actions from the meeting? Agreed. There are a number of items to be followed up on. Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and briefings for today's meetings? Agreed.
