There was a good question from Senator Pauline O'Reilly that did not really get an answer. Perhaps it cannot be answered or perhaps the committee could get a written answer in respect of what the safeguards are around the influences between advertising and editorial content and what the mechanisms are. The witness spoke about them being separate but it is clearly an area of interest. It would be good to get a follow-up in writing from RTÉ about how that issue is navigated and how RTÉ reviews its advertising policy in light of climate change and what safeguards are in place to ensure that editorial content is not affected. It would be useful to get that writing.
