The first point I want to take up is with regard to what was said last Thursday in relation to the internal audit department. I will address this to Mr. Collins and Mr. Lynch. Am I right in saying there were two people? That is extraordinary for an organisation with 1,600 people. I wish I was putting this point to Ms Dee Forbes but she is not here for obvious reasons. Two people are not a committee. I do not know what to call it. I even checked other large organisations. I checked our local UCC. It has a minimal requirement to have five to seven people, and our national broadcaster had two people. We are all trying to establish why we are looking at a burning mess in front of us today and the staff in RTÉ-----
