I welcome our witnesses. Hopefully, this meeting will go some way towards getting transparency, which has been missing until this point. I want to establish a clear timeline as to who knew what and when. We know that on 3 March, Mr. Tubridy had stated, when questioned about his ongoing position with “The Late Late Show” and whether he would continue or not:

I don’t know where this is coming from, the story comes up every year or two. I am here talking to you today with a view to go straight back into the job I love.

Is that correct?
