Okay. I am regular attendee and I want to get to these because it is important as to where RTÉ goes forward. I share a belief in the importance of good public sector broadcasting. RTÉ needs to come out of this being transparent and accountable. My first question follows on from Senator Warfield's question on possible other contractual relationships outside of RTÉ. Do you believe a register of interests should be established for the top talent in RTÉ, in the same way that applies to politicians? Second, will you publish the arrangement that has been entered into with Patrick Kielty concerning "The Late Late Show" for this autumn? That is essential to restore public confidence. Finally, this is a crucial question. As my colleague Senator Cassells mentioned, this a small media market. In straitened times, do you believe that anybody in RTÉ should be paid more than the Taoiseach?
