Ms Celene Craig:
As I said, it may be a contribution to a wider discussion on what that future might best look like. There are complexities in splitting commercial and public service activities, not least because many public service activities actually make quite a significant financial contribution to the public service mission. There would be some complexities. We need a long-term vision and plan for the structure and funding of public service broadcasting, setting out very clearly what we expect. RTÉ has a clear mission, but it is about what the best model is to deliver that in the longer run. Clearly, funding is a key element of all of that.
