No, I do not believe it has been undermined. There is an absolute determination now on the part of the three party leaders, the Minister for Finance, the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery, and Reform, and myself, who were engaging on this before the RTÉ crisis emerged, to deliver. As I said earlier, consecutive Governments have failed on this. This will not be the Government that fails on this; it will be the Government that delivers. Of course, it will need a change to relevant legislation but we will make this decision in the lifetime of this Government and start that process immediately thereafter.
