I am talking about the tripartite and years two and three as well. Not only did RTÉ underwrite the Renault contract but also there was an agreement to underwrite the two. Mr. Kelly was looking for a side letter agreement from RTÉ to guarantee and underwrite this for the duration of this contract and beyond into the next contract. Mr. Kelly clearly stated on page 9 of his document that he wanted RTÉ to underwrite. In response to him, Breda O’Keeffe, in her email – I think it is on page 10 of the pack – stated explicitly that on behalf of RTÉ, "we can provide you with a side letter to underwrite this fee for the duration of the contract". Mr. Kelly had requested that they underwrite it and Ms O’Keeffe, in that email on page 10 of the pack, was responding to his request. That is correct.
