If Mr. Kelly will not give me this information, I will ask RTÉ for information about advertising and clients for the past ten years so we will get it all.

My last three questions are for Mr. Tubridy. Earlier his representative, Mr. Kelly, stated that a contract is not a contract unless it is agreed by both parties. Where does Mr. Tubridy stand currently as regards his relationship with RTÉ? Is he employed or not? How does he perceive that?

My second question relates to one of the gigs with Renault. There was an invoice for €847 for someone to assist Mr. Tubridy. Will Mr. Tubridy throw some light on that?

This is a genuine, honest question. Toy Show, The Musicalhas been an unmitigated disaster conceptually and in every way. In fairness to Mr. Tubridy, he had zero involvement, nothing to do with it. He did not promote it and was not involved in it in any way. Did he think it was a bad idea from the outset and not want anything to do with it?
