That is where the ongoing engagement with staff is critical. I will raise it with the director general again this week, as I have at every meeting. The message needs to be that what we are looking for is, as I said, not imposing cuts for the sake of being seen to cut but rather stopping the waste and inefficiencies that have been identified and using the money to invest where needed to future-proof. RTÉ must identify where the money should go, where the supports are needed and how to future-proof our public service broadcaster. It needs to stop the waste and invest.
