I thank our witnesses for their attendance this morning.

Such is the issue surrounding this that Mr. Tubridy is right about people stopping him. Obviously, we are living in the same area and I know the high regard in which Mr. Tubridy is held and the respect people have for him, including kids who are wondering why the toy man is being in the news so much. That said, given the events over the last two weeks - we have engaged with RTÉ on quite a number of occasions - has that been the reason Mr. Tubridy wanted to come here voluntarily? Does the reason have more to do with what he heard from those engagements with RTÉ and what the various executives and board members said, or has it been everything else surrounding this whole issue? What is the main driver of Mr. Tubridy wanting to be here?
