I welcome all the witnesses here. We are all disappointed, but at least we live in a country where people are asked to come in. Seven people have come in and they have faced us. We have a job to do and they understand that. I can see right around this room, whether it is from this side or that side, that there are very disappointed faces. A lot of the public had great faith in RTÉ. We live in very challenging times media-wise. I came from Shannonside Northern Sound, and so many of my colleagues have moved down to RTÉ – an extraordinary amount from that station. I also did work many years ago for a programme on TG4. I was not paid extraordinary money. I was paid about €200 a month for the work I did, but that is beside the point.

Ms Ní Raghallaigh has said here that she did not inform the Minister that she had asked the DG to step down. Is that correct?
