Mr. Adrian Lynch:

Just to be clear, the day before I came in to the committee and the Senator asked me that question, I had checked my emails to see because I knew that Ryan Tubridy had told the director of content in mid-March that he was proposing to stand down from "The Late Late Show". I went back and checked my email to see if it coincided with 17 March and what I could find on my email, I think, from 13 and 14 March, was an email of a potential list of other candidates. It was on that basis. At that point, I was not aware that the chief financial officer, CFO, was aware from 6 March. When that was disclosed in the hearing, I then said that I was not saying it happened; I was just saying it is possible when one looks at the dates. That is all.
