I appreciate that, and I can see from Mr. Shortt's face through this whole thing that this is painful. I can just imagine. It is the deceit, and the whole thing was designed to deceive staff and make them believe that they had to take pay cuts because the top talent, as they were referred to previously, had taken them.

At the same time, Mr. Shortt talked about the lengthy process that was undertaken when it came to Ms Forbes. What have we learned? The coffers of RTÉ, as I previously stated, are going to suffer on the basis of compensation that will be paid for the process not being undergone, with what Mr. Lynch's actions were. I cannot remember who Mr. Lynch said he made the decision with not to put Mr. Tubridy back on the air.
