Mr. Adrian Lynch:

The information I was provided with was that there was going to be a sponsorship arrangement whereby Ryan Tubridy would be paid if it was enacted and then there was his standard contract. Things progressed and then, obviously, there was a further commercial undertaking given that if the sponsorship contract was not enacted, RTÉ would underwrite the contract. If the Deputy remembers, that was during the Covid period and it was very difficult to enact the sponsorships.
