It is an appalling vista we are facing. We have to acknowledge there has been huge damage done to public trust in a public broadcaster at a time when high-quality public broadcasting has arguably never been more important for countering the misinformation and disinformation that social media, in particular, tends to be awash with. There is huge damage done to the working relationships of people within RTÉ and to the morale of the many excellent people who are working within that organisation. That has all been acknowledged already.

I want to return briefly to Ms O'Leary on a detail she gave us. She said she only spoke to Renault about year one engagements, no hint at all of arrangements into year two. How many years was the original contract for? Was it a five- or three-year contract?
