I thank the Minister for coming in. Senator Cassells asked her what constitutes radical reform. In that context of talking about "radical", has the Minister considered consequences for individual members of the leadership team in RTÉ? There does not appear to have been any consequences for the individual leadership in RTÉ over that whole debacle. In fact, only one person lost their job and that person was on contract. Everybody else seems to be just getting on with it. They have to change the processes they use, and they have to look to change the culture, but there have been no consequences for individual leaders in RTÉ. If we are talking about radical reform, surely that must be considered. Has the Minister considered real consequences for the individuals who carried out or oversaw this particular debacle?
