Even in Mr. Tubridy's statement, he referred to it as "a fog of confusion". To me, it is a cloud of confusion at this point because what he is saying now directly contradicts what this committee and others have been told over the past couple of weeks by certain individuals. That is extremely worrying, both from a parliamentary perspective but also from a fact and truthful perspective, bearing in mind, referring to Mr. Kelly's statement, that RTÉ is an "institution" of the Irish State and those representing it.
I will turn to a few elements. The first is the question around Mr. Tubridy's decision. Mr. Tubridy said he had been thinking about it long and hard. Obviously, I can appreciate why it would be such a big decision.
