We are looking at the figures relating to Toy Show The Musical. I know this committee previously queried the musical and how its timing clashed with Christmas pantomimes that had been funded by the State. Of the 20,000 tickets, 9,000 were either promotional or complimentary, so 45% of the people who attended did so free of charge.

It seems an outstanding number of tickets to give out.

"The Late Late Toy Show" is associated with Ryan Tubridy as the presenter. What role did he have in it? Did he back it? Did he support it?
