I would like to ask about the business model in RTÉ. On one side, there is somebody on a fixed-term contract who has to go through an arduous contract review group process to try to become a permanent employee. On the other is this opaque system for negotiating with "talent" in RTÉ. Does Ms Ní Raghallaigh believe that is the right model? It is important to say we have only seen two major defections from RTÉ since Century Radio came on the scene 30 years ago, yet RTÉ has paid enormous sums to a small number of people, and bent over backwards to facilitate one individual. Do Ms Ní Raghallaigh believe that model is sustainable, and does it need to be changed?
