I want to move on to RTÉ's director general, Mr. Kevin Bakhurst, who said at a previous session of the Committee of Public Accounts that RTÉ will need around €56 million in additional interim funding and that it is expected to lose up to €21 million in TV licence revenue by the end of the year. Given that the station needs to meet its statutory obligations, what are the Minister's thoughts on the revised funding request?
