We are agreeing to that, assuming that everyone goes along with it. If someone is not in agreement, I ask RTÉ to inform the committee of that.

I find it extraordinary - perhaps there is more to go on this - that nobody from the executive present, and we have not had the opportunity to go through each of them, can answer the straightforward question of how many of RTÉ's talent base are represented by NK Management. I am not a member of the executive or the board. From what I have heard it is far more than four or five people. My biggest concern is that the right hand of the executive does not seem to know what the left hand is doing. Does Mr. Coveney have any idea as to how many of the talent base in RTÉ are represented by NK Management?
