That concludes our questions. I would like to acknowledge the presence of Mr. Seamus Dooley representing the National Union of Journalists, NUJ, who was been here for most of our debate and has been before this committee on many occasions.

I would like to conclude by giving the final word to Mr. Robert Shortt. We saw Ms Emma O'Kelly here earlier on in the audience too, and I have listened very carefully. I hear hurt and pain, apart from the annoyance, and real disappointment on behalf of the staff. Am I right in saying that Mr. Shortt is representing the staff on the board here today? Could I ask him to give us his parting thought on where the staff is at right now in all of this debacle?
