Okay. Only one issue. I have another question. I refer to a statement made this week that Mr. Tubridy's contract has come to an end. I am no genius and I am not legally qualified but looking at precedent in respect of other people in RTÉ, I found that an extraordinary statement and I thought it was going to be a big problem straight away. Precedent would show that loads of people step down from TV programmes - I think Deputy Murphy went through this earlier - but they continued on. In fairness, the likes of Claire Byrne gave up. Who signed off on saying that, considering the absolute obvious risk involved?
