Ms Geraldine O'Leary:

No, it did not. It was coming to the end of year two, season two, of a three-year broadcast sponsorship contract, which is standard practice in our business. I was asked to ask them if they would like to have an addendum to their contract which involved appearances by Ryan Tubridy. The broadcast sponsorship contract was up and running and in fact they renewed for the following year. The broadcast sponsorship contract was up and running. It was within the context of this contract I asked them if they were interested in three appearances by Ryan Tubridy, because it was connected to their sponsorship of the "Late Late Show", which he presented. Broadcast sponsorship ran its course and was renewed.
