There is also the back question to that. If somebody did walk, I think we could be fairly confident that we would fill those positions for €445,000 or €495,000 a year. I am absolutely confident that if those jobs were advertised, RTÉ would get enough applications and that there would be long list. I am sure it would have to make a short-list for interviews. It would not be a case of having only one or two applications. Most people involved in recruitment would say it is a very attractive position in a very attractive company and it is a highly rated position. Anybody working in a recruitment agency would tell you that. I thank Mr. Coveney.

I will bring members in for a second round of questioning. We are trying to get finished up so I will set some ground rules. We could take a second break but I propose that we take four minutes each and that we try to wrap up at around 5.15 p.m. It would save us from having another break. Is everyone happy with that? Agreed.
