I thank the witnesses. I want to make a general point first. In terms of the opening statements we received, Mr. Bakhurst's was relatively straightforward and Ms Ní Raghallaigh's was similarly so. We received those last night in good time to be able to read and review them. Mr. Lynch's opening statement blew the door off the hinges. I thought I was coming here to actually talk about the future of RTÉ and we are still talking about the past. I received that this morning physically in the room. I know everybody on this committee takes the role given to it by the public very seriously and I would have expected that information in a more timely manner. Deputy Alan Kelly has raised issues about people in the press having access to documents before we did.
