I have concerns. As I said, what was stated in the correspondence we have on today's agenda was that different grades exist across RTÉ, each with an associated salary scale based on responsibilities and not on language. It continued by stating that the review will not differentiate roles by language requirements. To me, this seems to mean the review will not address the issue. There is clear evidence, however, that those working in the Irish language are paid up to 25% less. Given how much we have been fobbed off regarding this matter at this stage by the director general on occasions in the Committee of Public Accounts, I do not have much faith in this review. I hope it will prove me wrong. If it is the case, though, that what I believe transpires and the issue of pay discrimination and disparity is not addressed, would Ms Ní Raghallaigh be prepared to take on this matter and address it?
