Even as recently as three weeks ago when the RTÉ board and some executive members were before the committee, I asked a question about a movie show that was produced a number of years ago. I asked the assistant director general why the documents that were provided to this committee had been so heavily redacted. I asked if he was involved in that process and he was, even though he was also a producer on that show in a previous employment, prior to his involvement in RTÉ. Does the Minister think that type of behaviour is acceptable? In light of everything we have heard, and this point continues that point, that does not shout out to me that there is a culture change in RTÉ. I found it very uncomfortable that it would have happened. Yet, this was acceptable on the witnesses’ side of the committee room on the last day they were before the committee. That does not give me confidence that things are changing.
