My next question is in regard to the Minister's Department and its relationship with RTÉ. Last year and the year before, additional funding was sought by RTÉ on top of the licence fee. What sort of due diligence or process is undertaken by the Department? Obviously, the commission makes a recommendation but I presume the Department also undertakes some sort of due diligence. Were concerns aired or articulated last year in terms of the funding of RTÉ? Has the Minister changed any processes within her own Department in terms of the oversight of RTÉ?
