In relation to Raidió na Gaeltachta, we know the figures we have talked about here could do so much for the stations in my constituency - in Baile na nGall - and other constituencies. For a relatively small investment, there is a huge return. This recruitment freeze will negatively impact on those stations and those staff who are really pressed in trying to do their job, like the staff that Deputy Boyd Barrett spoke about earlier. Does Mr. Bakhurst think it is the right decision to take at this time or are there other places where he could take the low-hanging fruit and not disproportionately impact the workers on the ground who had no hand, act or part in this crisis but are the people who are now suffering?
