I will go back to a point that was raised at the end of my previous slot in the context of reflecting the debate as it is. The entire point of this is not to create a sense that both sides are equal, is it not? Is that not what the witnesses say they are doing in their programming? They are creating a platform to have two sides, and some politicians will lean into that. They will know they can get airtime on political programmes if they go against the green agenda, and they do so for that reason. That is what I see happening.

Perhaps the witnesses will have to come back to the committee on this next question. How much of RTÉ's advertising revenue comes from climate polluting companies? Is there a breakdown of where in the schedule those kinds of ads can be seen? What kind of ads are displayed during the set climate programming?
