I do not care where it came from. Mr. Kelly is a professional agent. People say he is very successful at it. Does he mean to tell me that he entered into this arrangement without it being tied down for three years, because that is the effect of it? Mr. Kelly did not sign it. Niamh McCormack signed it on 21 April 2023 on behalf of Mr. Kelly and Mr. Tubridy. RTÉ never signed it. There is no RTÉ signature on it.

Let me just say this to Mr. Kelly. What is also incredible is the second last line in the agreement says: "Once signed by all parties, this agreement will constitute a legally binding document and it is acknowledged that there is a valid consideration for this agreement." That is once it is signed by all parties. Is Mr. Kelly telling me he went along on a wing and a prayer with four major faults in this: no signatures - not signed; signed this year; no figures mentioned in it; and not a three-year deal? Mr. Kelly was happy as a professional agent to sign off on this. He is asking me to believe that.
