What we are getting to here is around the levels of knowledge of the original contract and who knew what. That is why I asked very specific questions around who was in the room and who knew. This is part of the problem - it clearly seems that people did not speak to each other around elements of the deal. I wish to come back to Mr. Collins. When I put the question to him, and I acknowledged he had only been in RTÉ since 2020, he told me that his predecessor, Ms O'Keeffe, had not in the handover period provided a lot of detail concerning this contract.
