It is important. The TG4 experience operated very effectively within the model. Our concern is how RTÉ can ensure it has a model that is sufficiently flexible in a very competitive international environment, where it is dealing with a lot more platforms, and how this can ensure that RTÉ remains the national storyteller. To be blunt, if Ms Ní Raghallaigh is going to try to convince those of us in here around funding models, we have to be certain that RTÉ represents value for money. Is it considering other models, rather than just the model that is in place?
