Mr. Bakhurst said in his opening statement that RTÉ would not be brokering or facilitating separate commercial deals into the future. That is welcome. He also spoke about the barter accounts and how the fees were too high at 35%. We questioned it at committee, although I do not know which hearing it was. The fee was 35% and the normal rate would have been approximately 15%. From speaking to others since, however, it is a lot less than 15%. We could be paying 30% or 25% over and above. I am curious as to how Mr. Bakhurst will be able to bring this down. He said he was going to keep the barter accounts. Astus, for example, charges the 35% fee. How does Mr. Bakhurst bring the fee down if he is keeping that particular account? Is that possible to do?
