I am not buying that. Everything today has been about it being an RTÉ initiative.

Let us move on to the emails from Ms Breda O'Keeffe to Mr. Kelly where she talks about meeting Mr. Kelly half way, the fees and so forth. This is point one in the contract discussions. Point two is quite clearly the €75,000 from a commercial relationship, where she said: "We have progressed discussions with a 3rd party and look forward to discussing this with you in more detail next Tuesday." The commercial deal is central to everything. It was not going anywhere until this was on the page.
