In terms of resources and resourcing the player so that it functions as it should for anybody in any part of the world, what are the challenges presenting to RTÉ right now? Is there an issue around licensing, for example? If RTÉ commissions work on, for instance, the history of Dublin city, are there licensing issues that prevent RTÉ from allowing that to be broadcast on the player across a number of different regions? Is that a financial problem or a legal problem? Certain content on the player is simply not available outside of the island of Ireland. How does Ms Ní Raghallaigh envision overcoming that? Does she propose to overcome that?
