Earlier on a question was asked of Mr. Lynch whether he intended to establish a register of external interests for employees and contractors within RTÉ. Looking at Tim Davie, when he was first appointed in his role as director general of the BBC in September 2020, within a couple of months such a register was established for the very same reasons I believe RTÉ should establish one. I may have been mistaken but I believed Mr. Lynch expressed some degree of reticence about having the register in place for contractors to RTÉ, namely, the biggest talent names.

Was that the case or did I misunderstand Mr. Lynch?
