We are aware that some of your inquiries are looking at contractors going into RTÉ and representing de factomembers of staff of RTÉ. They have contractors, they have extracted themselves from being paid members of staff of RTÉ, but we are talking about the top talent, for example, who are represented by contractors outside RTÉ. I assume you find that problematic because you have commissioned one of your reports around that as well as the culture of contractors walking into RTÉ and negotiating extortionate figures for certain members of RTÉ. I ask you to reflect on that now. What are your thoughts on that?
