I appreciate separating the different things. Mr. Bakhurst and I are extremely savvy professionals who are able to read the mood music emanating from senior Cabinet members. That is where the decisions are going to be made. They are not going to be made in this committee room. They will be made between the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Cabinet with regard to achieving what Mr. Bakhurst wants to do. There seems to be a game of chicken and egg going on in terms of the Cabinet looking for demonstrable actions from RTÉ before those actions are taken. My fear as a member of the public looking in is whether there will be a stand-off.
