The gap is being funded by direct subvention at the moment. Last year, we had a Supplementary Estimate. Does Ms Licken have concerns about the situation I outlined in which RTÉ has run a deficit in five of the last six years? The organisation's income is down by in the region of €100 million over a six-year period, costs have gone up by approximately €30 million, the family silver - valuable pieces of land at Donnybrook - has been sold and borrowings stand at €95 million. As Secretary General, does Ms Licken have concerns about that?
