I will have to stop Ms Doherty because my time is very limited. She has been very generous in that answer.

My next question is for Mr. Shortt. I am sorry to put him on the spot but we know the significance of his presence here on behalf of his organisation and the team he represents on the board. Was there widespread knowledge in the broadcasting team and were the lesser public figures on RTÉ - by which I mean those involved in TV broadcasting in Ireland with whom we would not be as familiar - aware of the significant amount of finances involved in the barter funds, yes or no?
